Hello my tech-savvy friends,

As the title hinted, the version of Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003 that came with my Toshiba Satellite S-226 was apparently a trial version and has expired. I learned of this development upon attempting to use office outlook and have since noticed that it also affects Word. I suppose "affects" isn't a great word to use, the programs are not just affected, they are completely locked up.

So I'm searching for a little advice here. I see my options at this point as being A) pay $150 for the 25 character key or B) finding some other programs to replace the ones I've lost use of.

Plan A isn't overally apealing to me at this point so perhaps someone could tell me about other programs they use instead of Outlook and especially Word, which I use quite frequently. I'm not sure what other programs I have lost use of, but Outlook and Word are probably going to affect me the most as I use them often.

Any general advice or ideas welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Dostoevsky
