I think the point that watchfire_free_tools () hushmail com was trying to make is that in order to download PowerTools from the watchfire site users are required to complete a form, which sends an email with the download link afterwards. But it seems that you can download the product by using the link below (and thus circumventing the need to fill in the form). Could be wrong :)

Another reason why not to buy this smoke and mirrors FUD from vendors like this !

Anyone want to hep train them on their own paper ;-)
