Nope. I avoid Norton like the plague. I am very reluctant to use any 
3rd-party CMs, file management utilities.. etc.

You know with each upgrade of OSX, many things improve [screen 
redraws, bells & whistles, etc] but the Finder becomes more and more 
like Switzerland, where third-party stuff is concerned. Switzerland, 
[when I lived there long ago] being a place where that which wasn't 
'mandatory', was verboten. I feel sorry for the smaller developers 
out there, as they watch their work being either cannibalized, or 
broken, by Apple, MS, etc.
