Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I have a desktop and two laptops with Word 2003 installed (I know no support). I would like to upgrade to something where I do not need to use the "cloud" to store or use the functions. Expense is a factor, as well.
Thanks for the suggestion. However, my wife would freak out at trying something different. The upgrading of Word would be enough to flip her out. She's still working as a freelance proofreader and copy writer and is basically the one who will use it the most.
Also just FYI Office 365 does not "require" the cloud in any way other than perhaps it's initial activation. 1 year cards can typically be found pretty cheap and also come with 1TB of One Drive space.
Thanks Bigddybn. I am one from the old school of when you purchase a product, you purchase the product, not rent for a year. And while I appreciate the thought of One Drive for some, I have nearly 4TB of storage I can access through my NAS.
