DIRECTIONS for MICROSOFT TV DINNER

1. You must first remove the plastic cover. By doing so you agree to

accept and honor Microsoft rights to all TV dinners.

2. You may not give anyone else a bite of your dinner (which would

constitute an infringement of Microsoft's rights). You may, however,

let others smell and look at your dinner and are encouraged to tell

them how good it is.

3. If you have a PC microwave oven, insert the dinner into the oven.

Set the oven using these keystrokes: \mstv.dinn.//08.5min@50%heat//

Then enter.

4. If you have a Mac oven, insert the dinner and press

start. The oven will set itself and cook the dinner. Be forewarned

that Microsoft dinners may crash, in which case your oven must be

restarted.

5. Remove the dinner from the oven and enter

6. Many users have reported that the dinner tray is far too big,

larger than the dinner itself, having many useless compartments, most

of which are empty. These are for future menu items.

7. If the tray is too large to fit in your oven you will need to

upgrade your equipment.

8. Dinners are only available from registered outlets, and only the

chicken variety is currently produced.

9. If you want another variety, call Microsoft Help and they will

explain that you really don't want another variety. Microsoft Chicken

is all you really need.

10. Microsoft has disclosed plans to discontinue all smaller versions

of their chicken dinners. Future releases will only be in the larger

family size.

11. Excess chicken may be stored for future use, but must be saved

only in Microsoft approved packaging.

12. Microsoft promises a dessert with every dinner after '98.

However, that version has yet to be released. Users have permission

to get thrilled in advance.

13. Microsoft dinners may be incompatible with other dinners in the

freezer, causing your freezer to self-defrost. This is a feature, not

a bug. Your freezer probably should have been defrosted anyway.

This somehow makes me go ecstatic that we don't have such a one yet.

So now we know the real reason why they haven't yet entered consumer electronics....

This is quite common in my opinion, but sill pretty funny.
