I'd like to put in a word for Acronis's 'Partition Expert'
which I now like better than 'Partition Magic'.

I used PM for years, in fact I bought every new version as
it was released.  The last two versions of PM just are not
up to their old standards, IMO.  They seem to be resting
on their laurels instead of making real improvements.
