| 327403 | 2005-02-22 09:51:00 | I'm going to buy a copy of Ghost, mostly for peace of mind. But apart from a couple of very satisfying transactions with Amazon (music), I'm a rooky. I need to know a bit more about buying software on line. I thinkI understand that some sites, like Nero will download a trial copy then charge for a code number to make it permanent. But Ghost only seem to have two options, either mail a boxed version, or download a copy after receiving payment. I wonder what happens if the download fails. And do they help you to verify that your copy is complete? I suppose I could get a copy from Amazon (mailed) they certainly make it easy. Any tips from anyone who has done some online buying would be real good. Which way is best for Kiwis to buy software?....Cheers Ken. |

| 327406 | 2005-02-22 19:18:00 | I'd start by reading the reviews comparing Ghost and Acronis True Image which is a much smaller download and US$20 cheaper. | PaulD (232) | ||
