The Office 2000 Usability Test

The management
1: The management (Robert) has acquired a new product: Office 2000.
Well, the box looks nice and everyone else buys it.
The systems department at work
2: The package is given to the systems department (Agnete) for usability testing and the department immediately goes to work. Office 2000 seems not to be entirely stable.
The system department defends its methods
3: "But I assure you, this is standard use of the product!"
(Indeed it seems to be the standard use of any product.)
The systems department deep in testing
4: A thorough test requires deep concentration.
The state of the product after use
5: It seems that Office 2000 is not stable under extended use.
The management wonders what to do
6: The management will have to find another product to meet their needs. Something based on a more stable technology such as the "Comforter 2000". A pity about the pretty box though.
