Howdy, folks!

This may not bring back any memories, but I want to give a quick report on something that I've just discovered. Way back there when Windows 95 was first introduced, I was working for Symantec. In that same week of August, we released a product called "Norton Navigator", which I supported for a year or so. It is a file manager that has a couple of features in it that I've not seen in any other program of its type, and, in my estimation, is a fantastic piece of software. Thus, I have continued to run it on every machine that I've had since its release, and would be "lost" without it. (It's THAT good!)

Each time that a new version of the Windows OS comes along, I have dreaded finding that Norton Navigator will no longer work with it. I've just now installed it on this machine running Vista RC2. To my suprise and delight, it runs fine! That should keep me going for a few more years! FWIW, I keep just the core files on a floppy and install it on any machine that I sit down to work on, so I won't be forced to use the dreaded Explorer.

Any way you view it, finding that it still does its thing in Vista is not bad for a piece of software whose "innards" have not been touched since November 1997, which was just before the product was discontinued.

Happy Computing!
