Version: 2008

Processor: Power PC

I need to somehow get a hard copy of the Office 2008 update (purchased the
program new, and irritating because there is an update that was not included).
I use dial up (stop laughing . . .), and the download for the update would
take nine hours. My connection will not stay on for that long, so I therefore
need the update on a disk. How can I get this in a hard copy?

1> Use Curl from terminal:

Curl -C - -O

2> When you purchase something, they don't specially make a version just for
little old you; handle the fact that you might just need to download an
update.

Damn American's and their continuous whining.
