100901 - On 090623 purchased c16.  This included Microsoft Office. ref SDS 1
100902 - 564V
100904 -  ..
100905 - On 090715 completed configuration of c16 running Windows XP and
100906 - Windows 7 as a dual boot configuration.
100908 -  ..
100909 - The program is identified with...
100911 -  ..
100912 - Notice the numbering is difficult to make out there is a "1" between 2
100913 - and 8------------------+

100918 -  ..
100919 - This was discovered to be a 1, and not a scratch in the labeling,
100920 - because the Office installation code asks for a 25 character product
100921 - key.  The above string was initially only 24 characters.  This led to
100922 - a conclusion that the scratch was really a 1.
100924 -  ..
100925 - Even examination with a magnifying glass does not establish the mark
100926 - is a 1.  So, only disclosure that another character is needed drives a
100927 - conclustion that it is a 1.
100929 -  ..
100930 - There are 2 bar code numbers...

100936 -        SKU 79G 00007
100938 -  ..
100939 - There is some sort of a security strip to verify the package has not
100940 - been previously opened.
100942 -  ..
100943 - Was very difficult to open the package.  There are no instructions.
100944 - Took about 30 minutes fumbling with varous attempts to avoid damaging
100945 - the plastic box.  Required tearing some of the merchandise
100946 - identification, including evidently some of the product key.
100948 -  ..
100949 - There is nothing on the packaging that identifies an actual "product
100950 - key."
100952 -  ..
100953 - Microsoft does not support cut and paste, but insists people type a
100954 - long string correclty.
100956 -  ..
100957 - Actually, there is something identified as a product key, it is on
100958 - the inside of the packaging...
100962 -  ..
100963 - At least we did not tear up the product key getting the thing out of
100964 - the package.
100966 -  ..
100967 - This is extremely tedious and time consuming to enter by hand, and
100968 - leads to many errors and frustrations, particularly because the print
100969 - is very small.
100971 -  ..
100972 - Installed to...

100976 -  ..
100977 - Turns out this was a mistake.  Should have been in h: 00 02.
100979 -  ..
100980 - The new Word looks like the Control Panel for a Boeing 747.

100982 -            [On 091111 2027 Microsoft Office had to be installed again
