If you bought MS Office 98 & later wanted MS Office 2001, then you'd need to repurchase/upgrade. MS support for such products afaik is only for a stated period of time. Same as most software products. So I'm not sure what planet you step off from.

It's now almost 12 months of crap we've been getting from you & we've had enough dip sh*t. As I suggested in a previous thread, if you don't like it then scram. Go to Bearshare pro or something.
