As long as you still have the CD and the Key code. Many people are still using
PowerPoint 97 and there are even some who hang on to PowerPoint 95. It's really
more an issue of how long will it be before you want whatever new features are
released with the new version and you desert PowerPoint 2003. <G>
Once you purchase Office 2003 take very good care of the CD and it will serve
you well for longer than you want.
