Some more "help" messages from Office XP :
1. We regret to inform you that your file is missing in Microsoft. Please
click "here" to debit your credit card for $300, and you can continue to
type in this document. Otherwise, you will have to reboot your system and
start all over again!
After clicking "here"
2. It appears the document you are preparing is a commercial bid for $1
mil. Since you could do this only with our products, we have debited $500
from your account. You will appreciate that it is a small fee for this
valuable proposal!
3. Your computer has terminated connection with the internet. This means
that we at Redmond cannot see what you are typing. Immediately call our
toll free no. to correct this situation.
4. It appears the document you are preparing is anti-Microsoft. Under
Subscription Advantage, we have retained the rights to format your hard
disk when this occurs. The process is now complete and you can order your
fresh licenses with us, should you desire to use your system again
!
And so on - very innovative, I should say!
