Another reason to download new programs online -- the physical package that contains the PowerPoint 2007 CD is downright peculiar.
It took my aging eyes quite a while to figure out how to bust open the Microsoft Office 2007 Suite. The directions for opening the package are quite clear (see image below):
And by "clear", I literally mean "transparent". The red instructions you see so clearly above are printed on see-through plastic -- and taped over an orange-red background. I also had to peel off yet another gossamer strip not mentioned in the above, um, "instructions".
My recommendation for opening the packaging is to get someone with sharp fingernails to fondle the package to find and peel off the invisible tape -- before you follow the instructions.
But perhaps most amusing part of the package is this gem printed on the side of the box (yellow highlights are mine)
I think the first line basically says, "You have to have internet access to access the internet" -- which is pretty funny in itself. But the highlighted part about the fictitious events is simply gibberish. The fictitious events have no association or connection to --- anything?
What on earth is that supposed to mean? No more Christopher Columbus PowerPoint presentation examples? ;)
