RE: Excel (OT)

Thought I'd add my 2c into this discussion.

If you purchase the Upgrade version of Office and you don't have a previous version to upgrade from, you can point back to the Excel folder on the CD when asked to show where the previous version is. Not sure on the legality of that (it probably isn't) but it works...

Also, with any second hand purchase of Office 2000, be aware that Microsoft have a security tool on it that allows you to use the programs a maximum of 50 times before it shuts Office down, unless you register with MS. Now (this is certainly true in New Zealand) MS will allow you to register a maximum of two times with that serial numbered version of Office. After that, you have to plead your case with MS to allow them to give you another registration number. I assume this is the case in the US as well.
