Microsoft TV Dinner Installation Instructions
=============================================

You must first remove the plastic cover. By doing so you agree to
accept and honor Microsoft rights to all TV dinners. 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.

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: ms//start.cook_dindin/yummy\|/yum~yum:-)gohot#cookme. 

If you have a Mac oven, insert the dinner and press start. The oven
will set itself and cook the dinner.

If you have a Unix oven, insert the dinner, enter the ingredients 
of the dinner (found on the package label), the weight of the dinner, 
and the desired level of cooking and press start. The oven will 
calculate the time and heat and cook the dinner exactly to your 
specification.

Be forewarned that Microsoft dinners may crash, in which case your 
oven must be restarted. This is a simple procedure. Remove the dinner 
from the oven and enter 'ms.no.&*%*.good/tryagain\again/again.&*%*'. 
This process may have to be repeated. Try unplugging the microwave 
and then doing a cold reboot. If this doesn't work, contact your 
hardware vendor.

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

Dinners are only available from registered outlets, and only the 
chicken variety is currently produced. 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.

Microsoft has disclosed plans to discontinue all smaller versions 
of their chicken dinners. Future releases will only be in the larger 
family size. Excess chicken may be stored for future use, but must 
be saved only in Microsoft approved packaging.

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.

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.
