How do you open the plastic box that contains the new Office softw

[Research Geek]

Whoever designed the STUPID plastic box that Vista and Office 2007 products
did not put clear instructions on how to open the dumb thing. In the past
week I have had to open 2 of them and after 10 minutes each of trying, I just
busted them open. Of course, that makes it hard to put them back together
after reading the 25 character key

Some people have had success with a jackhammer and blow torch.

Nix that, the blowtorch makes the CD go all floppy and hard to read. 8>.

You could put it behind the left rear tire of your favorite vehicle but that
might scratch the CD................ ;-) I've heard that case is a bugger
to open.

Have a look at the latest issue of Consumer Reports. In addition
to discussing the problem, they have a run down on gadgets for
the job. I use a very large pair of pinking shears!
