It seems very familiar to me.  I've been forced to insert my Win98 CD many
times.  I now carry it in my laptop bag wherever I go.

Another wacky example:  In our dept., many of us installed Office onto our
NT machines from a departmental NT server.  The software on the server was
updated and the old version of Office was removed and the old directory
was deleted.  Now, when someone wants to Uninstall their old Office, they
cannot do it!  It will not uninstall unless it can get to the directory it
was originally installed from.  But that directory doesn't exist!  MS is
just wacky -- when the install a product, they should give it everything
it needs to uninstall itself.  So we cannot delete Office 97 from our
machines.  We delete what files we can and we install the new Office 2000.
