Product keys bitsnpcs 6/23/2007 1:10:00 AM Hi...to the folks at Microsoft I've been to a quite a few Microsoft road shows and events over the years...and always there is an emphasis on how you have been "listening" to the channel and those in business etc..etc....well can you "listen" real good to this! I have just spent all morning stuggling to enter a product key - why am I struggling? Because it is printed in such small type that my 50 year old eyes can't distinguish between the Bs and the 8s....the Gs and the 6s.....Qs and Os even with my glasses on its not easy! Now look if we're heading towards a bunch of medialess products as seems the trend with the OFFICE 2007 OEM versions - the least you could do is supply a the flaming product key in a larger ledgible font - it doesn't even need to be in bold type - just larger - save some ink by all means - just make it BIGGER so we folks with middle aged vision can bloody read it! Its pretty basic and its kinda insulting not to be given more consideration. Please LISTEN and FIX! -- Jim Bitsnpcs

Re: Product keys "Gary G. Little" <glittle[ at ]mn.rr.com> 6/23/2007 2:00:26 AM Gosh ... Being a fellow baby boomer, I'm almost ashamed to admit I'm in Jim's generation. :) I remember not being able to read the ESN number on a Sprint phone. I certainly didn't rant about it to Sprint; instead I found a brighter light, used a magnifiying glass, or changed the font on the display window. Push comes to shove, you can always scan and expand the copy. Gary "Mike Hall - MVP" <mikehall[ at ]mvps.org> wrote in message news:uEmYSYTtHHA.3556[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl...

Re: Product keys bitsnpcs 6/25/2007 5:21:02 AM Firstly, I don't use a phone book anymore I use the net! Secondly, why are you content to be inconvenienced to the extent of needing a magnifier when Microsoft could so easily print the thing in a larger font?

Re: Product keys "Mike Hall - MVP" <mikehall[ at ]mvps.org> 6/25/2007 12:54:15 PM Considerate enough that the key code could be read by anybody off of the side of a computer on display in a store, on the counter of the welfare office or insurance broker? You tell me.. And how do you use the net when in a public phone booth? Have you thought about how large the NY or London England phone books would have to be if produced in LARGE PRINT editions?

Re: Product keys "Mike Hall - MVP" <mikehall[ at ]mvps.org> 6/26/2007 12:32:27 PM Yes, it would.. MS is hardly likely to produce a page like that, and I was kinda hoping that people might notice the 'hello?' part and realise that I was actually kidding..

Re: Product keys "Mike Hall - MVP" <mikehall[ at ]mvps.org> 6/27/2007 11:42:38 AM Maybe just a little.. Far easier to ask the local friendly retailer for a 'large print keycode sticker' edition.. there is a small surcharge on these, but I understand that the proceeds are given to 'Forestry reclamation' groups, otherwise known as tree huggers..
