to 2004 or is the 2002 sufficient as long as I keep updating my systems as it prompts me to?

[cheano]

You dont have to upgrade to 2004 but you have to update it.

[cocoa]

ok, does anyone know, just in case, where to get a free updgrade to 2004 edition?

Cocoa, i dont' where you can get it for free, but i would suggest a great website for deals called www.fatwallet.com

It's basically a website of a community of people who are into great deals ... everything from computers to home products...
you should check there frequently as the members post hot deals the moment it becomes available.

[cheano]

There is no for free

[cocoa]

thanks both

I would generally agree with Cheano's comments but there are a few exceptions!

About a year ago, i found a deal through fatwallet where Norton was offering a free upgrade to their NSW 2003 version as long as you had a previous version of NSW. There were two rebates i had to submit and i followed the instructions and got both of the rebate checks in the mail. Cost to me was .74 cents to mail in the two rebates. Can't say whether Norton will run that sweet deal again, but you never know... that's why i gave you the link to that website.
