The list price for 1 Guest and 1 Host is $165.00. I set myself up as a reseller which anyone can do, and got it for $134.00. Danware wants resellers but you can buy a single copy if you wish. I think the prices are very reasonable considering the product you get. I used to LOVE pcanywhere but with the fluff upgrades that I kept paying for that didn't really change the functionality and the flakeyness/bugs that were included, I got real tired of the the product and Symantec in general. I could tell you a few stories of some HUGE bugs I found that totally blew me away.

I also used to love Norton Utilities, but that program got so fat they ruined it. One of the bugs that I found and reported was with a 7.x version of Norton utilities a couple of years ago. If installed Norton utilities on a win9x pc and then later you were out at a dos prompt and accidentally typed Dir *>exe instead of Dir *.exe, Norton would delete ALL of the files in that directory that ended with the extension you typed, in this case all of your EXE files. And, what's more, you couldn't retrieve them with norton undelete. Unbelievable. I reported this to symantec and was able to get everyone I spoke to to recreate the problem. I expected to have symantec publish something about it and get a patch out quickly. Intead they didn't speak of it all and it wasn't fixed until the next version was released. I reported it to PC Computing and they wrote a small article about it but didn't really give the details of the problem, just sort of skimmed over it saying that there were some problems if you typed the wrong thing at the dos prompt.

Anyway, this is not a bash on symantec party. I'm just happy to have an alternative to their products.
