I have a funny story.
A friend of mine that is running a company purchased a computer some years ago, the computer came with Word 2000 installed.
He moved all the data from his old computer and was using the new computer with the new Word 2000. All worked fine until one day Word 2000 refused to open and appeared a message:
"trial period expired you must register Word 2000"
Ok, no problem as he had all the bills and notes of the computer. There were two ways to register the software: by internet and by phone. He started with the most easier that was by internet, but there were no ways to establish the communication with Microsoft.
Now it was the turn to try the telephon, he dialed the number without any answer, after many tries and some hours he was able to enter into contact, he passed all his information and they told him that will send him the code to enable Word 2000.
Many hours later and no code, he phoned again (several tries) and they replied that were working on it.
Next day, nothing!, he phoned again and the same blah, blah, blah, nothing!
As he is running a business and playing games, he needed to use Word 2000 (time is money), so tired of wanting for the activation code, he took his car, went downtown and purchased a pirate Word 2000 for 10$, installed it and was able to return to his business.
Two weeks later he received the activation code!!!!!!!
With this kind of service they are promoting piracy, who is not a pirate is forced to become one!

Stupidity also evolves!
