- Make sure you get Now Utilities version 3, not the about-to-appear
- version 4; Now Software has removed DeskPicture (and ScreenLocker)
- from NU4, and will apparently be putting them into some new package in
- the future. (They're also moving AlarmsClock to the next version of
- the Now Up To Date package.) These actions have been the subject of
- much hate and discontentment in other newsgroups and on Compu$erve...
