Does a free version of Acronis ship with some brand of external harddrive?
I'm too cheap to spend $49.95

Oh, yes, 'fer sure.' They also send you a brand new machine with a 32" LCD
monitor, your choice of an Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad-core processor QX9650
or an AMD Phenom Quad-Core 9850, your choice of red or blue LED accented
Armor case with liquid cooling and it's own dedicated power supply furnished
by your local electrical provider at no cost for two years. The machine has
8 Gig of DDR-3 Ram and will have the latest offering from ATI of 2 or 4
GDDR4 Vivo video cards, sound card and speakers (Dolby 10.4 Beta), a year's
subscription to Computer Shopper, 4 years of free in home service w/live-in
technician (your choice of Hooter's or Chippendale qualified), a Bentley
limo w/driver, a new home in Beverly Hills Brentwood and another on your own
island in the Florida Keys, and a Walmart gift card.
Heirloom, old and I have some really nice ocean front
property for sale in Oklahoma, also.

Actually I'm reading your replies on my Vista machine. My ISP can only offer
3mps in my area or I'd go for more. If you'd forget the sarcasm, Iomega does
include backup software. I asked the question because I'm buying a 2tet hard
drive and thought maybe Acronis had a deal with a hardware firm.

To all out there. Gone thro' the registration procedure; couldn't find a
link. Got to "chat" with an agent, who said "sorry that promotion is over"

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely
foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

If you already received your license key, go to the following link and
register your account. Once your account is registered, login to your
account, click Registered Products, and then you can download the
installation file from there.

By the way, the information that the agent provided is not accurate.
You can still use the following link to get Acronis 8 Personal for free.
Keep in mind that this is an OEM version, so some of the functionality
is limited. For example, if you backup to a network drive, this version
won't let you do that.
