- The update to Now Utilities 4.0, as many know, will omit a
- few utilities, most notably DeskPicture and AlarmsClock.
- Yesterday someone posted a claim that not only did the collection
- omit these utilities, but it would not run if you used the 3.02
- versions of these utilities. This seemed outrageous to me, but
- sufficiently outrageous to be unlikely so I called NOW today.
- I spoke to a very nice woman who was startled by this claim
- and who unequivocally assured me that my old 3.02 DeskPicture
- and AlarmsClock would work once I installed th 4.0 updates. She
- seemed pretty upset at this rumour of NOW's maliciouness and asked
- me to post making this quite clear. She was only a sales droid,
- but did seem genuinely startled to hear this claim and concerned
- about the reputation NOW had.
