[dba-Tech] Serif's System Mechanic Software

I looked for it on their web site and couldn't find anything. Note however,
that companies do bundle software together with other companies for sales
purposes. Nero is currently doing something like that too. That said, System
Mechanic has never fixed anything for me and I've tested it on numerous
machines (all legally).

Oh, that clinches it.  The offer is coming straight from Serif, which means
that they are still marketing the product they no longer make, or they are
sort of feeding customers to the new publisher.  In either case, I want
nothing to do with it.  Thanks John, and thanks to everybody. This offer
goes into the good ole round file!.
