BEWARE that if you subscribe to Sunbelt's NTools E-News list they will also
automatically subscribe you to their advertisement list. You can unsub
from the NTools E-News list but the advertisements (I prefer to call them
SPAM!) keep coming and there's nothing on their web site about how to
unsubscribe from them. Even if you email them back and tell them to
unsubscribe you they don't. I finally had to call them and tell them that
I didn't appreciate being spammed and to remove my address from their
advertisement list.

If you go to the download section on their web site they ask for your email
address before you get to see what they have to download. Guess what?
You've just gotten on their spam list. Besides, they don't have much
useful stuff for downloading anyway so it's not worth it.
