tivoboy said:I just wonder why a brand new computer, would have a trial that had expired? I mean, we just bought it a week ago and turned in on three days ago.

I had MS Office test version installed on my iBook and I started using it, then I got the full version! but I'm unable to uninstall the test version... it appears that I have two MS Office version in my computer... everytime I drag the whole MS Office Trial Version to the Trash and empty it, I get a message saying that these can not be don cause Entourage is being used or something like that (don't remember the exact wording) I NEVER USE ENTOURAGE!!!
What can I do? I don't want the trial version on my computer is a waste of HD space..
By the way after I installed the full version I had to take out all the icons from the dock and drag them again, otherwise everytime I tried to open word or excel I would get the message of how many trial days I had left... FU... I've already installed the FULL VERSION!!!
