Microsoft never sold Office 2000 Professional for $5 - they offered to
replace your already purchased Office Professional for a shipping cost of
~$5.

|| Wanted to Beg, Borrow or Buy:
|| Office 2000 PRO Installation Disk 1.
||
|| No, I do not want a license key with it. I have one. All I want to
|| do is run repair and install a new feature, but my install is gone
|| forever (That's another story.)
||
|| Microsoft no longer supports Office 2K - and so they no longer sell
|| replacement disks. They say my only option is to upgrade the entire
|| office suite. If I had a steady job I might consider it, but,
|| truthfully, their policy offends me more than a little. (<grrrrr/>)
|| and there are other problems
|| that arise if I do upgrade in the middle of a project, when my client
|| cannot.
||
|| I figure SOMEONE out there (maybe even someone listening) MUST have
|| a old copy they can part with, or maybe even just loan me for a
|| while.
||
|| FOR SURE it must be Office 2000 PRO . (That's the one with Word,
|| Excel, PowerPoint, & Access included.) NOT Premium, NOT Standard.
|| ( I emphasize this point because three respondents in other forums
|| have tried to load/sell me those product disks. I'm sure they won't
|| work.)
||
|| RSVP to : neyman@pobox.com
|| Thanks in advance.
