    This has really made my day

    get this for laughs! its really quite funny!!

    I bought ms office on ebay 2 weeks ago for my studies which start in about 4 months (since ive been unemployed for over a year because our banks are so incompetant), £120 for 1 copy with 2 activations which is great coz i have a laptop as well ( the uk version has only 1 activation). 2 weeks later & i receive a damn £25 customs charge, probably coz they are so moronic they decided to check to see if an al'queda contingent was in there!!!!

    Being a student whos broke and not very knowledgable about stuff like this, i decided to ring the postal depot who basically said they keep it for 3 weeks, send it back to HM revenue & customs who revoke the charge & send it back to sender. Whole process takes about 2 months, unfortunatly the seller only accepts refunds for unwanted items for 30 days so ill end up with £120 down the drain!

    Now im gonna have to borrow £25 & use my legs as collateral or something, then get beaten up for not repaying my debt, then get sent to hospital & cost the nhs loads for me being there.

    This government is officially stupid!

    As a Student you should look into the bookstore at University as you qualify for a nice Discount from MS...
    Send the other one back for a refund or Bill Customs for it.

    What is Blue Edition?

    ~Lordbob
    I have to tread carefully here, its a touchy subject depending on peoples views, apparently blue edition is a version of office that requires no serial, as it is effectively an OEM edition, only to be used by developers, but some people say its just a cracked copy with a serial keygen built in. But who knows, only microsoft know, and theyre apparently denying Blue's existence.
