Copy ms Works?

Executioner · 15-March-06, 07:34 PM

This dumpster pc I have (500mhz cpu) has Microsoft works on it and that is the only reason I still have it. My daughter uses Works to do her reports and projects and stuff. I'd like to know if I could copy Works to my primary desktop pc so I could scrap the dumpster one. The pc that Works is installed on is an old Gateway I found in an elementary schools dumpster. I already went through and totaly purged all the data related to the school. (they didn't even delete anything before they tossed it, their were kids names and address's on this thing!) I have no intentions of making multiple copies, I'd just like to save myself the expense of buying a new copy of Works.

Why not bin it *AHEM* - I mean mod it - and download openoffice for your desktop? it's freeware and does just as good a job:
