Well Steve, I think your best bet now is to (very) quickly rush down to your
local computer store and lay down your $'s to receive a shiny new copy of
the disk and its extremely well produced documentation.

In that way you can show us all that this is really only a joke, and that
you really haven't *stolen* that fine product from Microsoft (who, by the
way, will have read your posting by now), and that you're really *not*
trying to incite one of us to break the copywrite laws, and that anyway,
your employers have really *not* got anything to do with it, even though you
posted the request on their machine, and that, no, there is really no need
for their corporate lawyers to become involved, and that it is such a small
thing, so why should you be fired for it, and ....

(Cross posted to net.micro and net.micro.pc for the interest (amazement?) of
all those taking part in the "Software protection .." discussions).
