Somewhat "Off Tread" but when we donate computer, we make the end user accept any license agreements. They also sign a form (attorney approved) absolving us of licensing issues. Upon purchase of new machines, we snapshot a box before first boot. When it's donated, restore it back and any original CD's (if we can find them). Can MS OFfice be set to "OEM out-of-box-where-you-gotta-accept-big-fat-license-agreement"? I think I saw that somewhere in the ORK. Surely someone on this list knows! Dont call me Shirley. -Devin
