Microsoft Office 2003 Lost Cd

[RiPOFF]

I have a question. *If* i own a retail copy i bought from a college. And i
lost one of the cds. How much would microsoft charge me to replace it if i
can prove i own it? Below 50?

Thank you for the most helpful but useless post

Your welcome. I guess your first job out of college
will be "paper or plastic...welcome to Wal-Mart!"

 

[Rob Giordano \(Crash\)]

Useless because it didn't give him the answer he wanted to hear.

I guess you better stop talking "shit" before you know what the story is. Get
your facts straight. I know the disc can be replaced but i want to know how
much or around how much not that it can be replaced. Im a forum moderator too
in another huge forum and i always say "Its best not to post if its not gonna
help the person."

If you contact Microsoft, as I previously suggested, they
will tell you the replacement cost.

You were told where to find the answer to your question. We don't know the
cost because we know where our disks are. Perhaps this is a lesson for you
to learn.

hey..what happened to my response to this noof?

 

[RiPOFF]

Hey ass... guess what i called microsoft and they were closed so i couldn't
find out how much. I did it before i posted here too.

I guess you'll have to get off your high horse and visit
your favorite store that sells computer software and
purchase a new copy of Microsoft Office to replace
the copy 'you' lost. You have no one to blame but
yourself.

1. No need for profanity.
2. The normal cost of replacing Microsoft Office CDs is shipping and
handling, usually around $10.
3. Call them on Monday and they will promptly ship your replacement CDs so
you should have them within a week. Of course, that depends on your
location.

Oh, and this entire thread is a disgrace. You should have been given the
simple answer and you should NOT have resorted to name calling and
profanity.

From OP: " *If* i own a retail copy i bought from a college"

Wonder what the *'s meant ?? hmmmm. I wonder if he thinks he's in a crackz
..alt newsgroup?

Actually, I don't think Wal-Mart offers a paper option (unless you're
talking about payment options). At least... not where I live.
