| 418321 | 2006-01-05 00:56:00 | My software sources only have it listed as a non-media item, Though seeing as they have endless supplies of version 8 on cd I would imagine that given time to filter onto our market we will soon see the full retail package. | Metla (12) | ||
| 418322 | 2006-01-05 01:13:00 | Bang-on Metla I have spoken to DSE's software buyer and it is just coming up on their "event horizon". Expect to see the retail boxed CD available within 2-3 months, if not sooner because once a nation-wide chain places an order there should be stocks for all resellers. In the meantime, I either download, or wait. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 418325 | 2006-01-05 04:29:00 | http://www.acronis.com/ Obviously. Exactly what part of However, the only source I have found so far is the downloadable version from the US, but I would much prefer a shrink-wrapped copy purchased locally. From the way they market their CD backup disc it sounds like you can't make your own CD from the download either, though that may just be creative marketing hype. didn't you understand pct? Availability from the US is a no-brainer. :illogical Do you have anything useful to add to my query, or are you just having a slow day at the office? Cheers Billy 8-{) :rolleyes: |

They certainly do have the thing stored on CD - no idea if that is a bootable CD like you probably mean but so what? Its installable and works just fine .

| 418328 | 2006-01-05 08:53:00 | Two of my customers have bought it exactly this way. Whats the problem with it? They certainly do have the thing stored on CD - no idea if that is a bootable CD like you probably mean but so what? Its installable and works just fine. I am well aware that I can store a download on CD, that is a given, but there is some doubt as to the ability to create a bootable CD and I was hoping that somebody with recent experience of True Image 9 might be able to clarify that. The heart of an effective drive imaging system is a bootable CD (or DVD or Floppy). If you can't boot to Windows or a DOS prompt, then a bootable disc is probably the only way to recover from a major meltdown, or to image to a new HDD for that matter. I was explicit in my requirements, and my reasons for not buying on line because of my reservations about the apparent caveat in the advertisment on the Acronis site. Your post added nothing to my request or the thread, and intentional or not, a single word post: "obviously" suggested that only you were smart enough to think of going to the Acronis site for a download. I had covered all those bases thoroughly before posting. I apologise if I hurt your feelings, but when you lead with your chin like that you can expect a whack. Maybe you didn't bother to read the prior posts, but that's not my problem. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 418329 | 2006-01-05 19:34:00 | Billy, I've been using version 8 for a while now and was going to buy 9 when all (well most of) their troubles had been sorted. Once you've installed the program you then have the option of burning a bootable cd, which I've used a few times now on my old pc. Very handy !! Looks like the problems they've been having are gradually being sorted, looking on the forum website anyhow. wilderssecurity.com Must add, I have no qualms about downloading the program, as they keep updating it anyhow. |

On searching Amazon I see that they have a boxed version which they will ship out for UKsterling 23 . 97 . This translates to NZ$64 . 40 . Free shipping is only within UK so you would have to pay shipping costs which should not be too much . Be interested in knowing where things are at ! cheers Misty :cool: |
