On: Norton Ghost discontinued

"And SSR said to bring many advantages suck as Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 , 64bit , UEFI secure boot support and USB recovery disk support."

Dude, that's a hell of a typo. Umm.. I agree? Heh.

Its a shame though. Man I loved Ghost back in the day. I remember that magic boot floppy and the double-headed LPT/Serial "ghost cable"(1). Good times.

(1) Technically I think the cable came with an overpriced utility called "Laplink".

Laplink. Now there's some memories right there. :)

I think it came with a giant yellow parallel port cable, right?

And a blue serial one. Or the other way around.

Lacking networking it was the best/only way to pump data from one box to the other.

The old DOS-based LapLink was awesome. I recovered many people's files with that when I was first learning how to do this whole computery thing.

Ra, Laplink. That bring back some fond memories. Laplink, PC Tools, Norton Utilities. The basic kit of every "sysadmin" at the time...
