Better sometime than never...

Recently I downloaded the trial version of Office 2003, which is good for sixty days, and I decided to see if I could get more like sixty years out of the trial by setting the computer's date to the year 2099, which believe it or not did work. Even though it didn't work, I did find out that somebody really planned ahead in XP's Windows Explorer.

Well well... Sometime this millennia, eh? Maybe they actually expect some family to use the same old computer for 1000 years? Ah well, that goes to show you how little the devs at MS have to do.

I think it was in MaCleans Magazine, A Canadian mag,
that Firefox was doing really well. They only had good things to say about it.
Then I think it was there I read where it said you don't really need IE as you can download Microsoft Office 2003 free now.
I don't know if it said where, but it was February's magazine. If it wasn't in that magazine I heard it on the radio.
Sorry, can't help you too much.....lol
I have the CD.
