@SimonCHulse So, would keeping an old Mac offline or changing the clock (and keeping it offline) bypass this? Or do we all find out next month.

@SimonCHulse So, I have a very old Macbook that has a fully loaded version of PowerPoint installed (that still works). I keep that Macbook offline, and use USBs or external harddrives to transfer files. As to whether that technique will work on Microsoft Office 2019 and 2021 is unknown. I would suggest that folks turn back the clock and keep those old Macs offline if possible...

@SimonCHulse Starting up "Mister Mackey" and will change the date and take it offline. We'll see what happens after July...
@SimonCHulse Hmmmm... My version of Word is soooo old, maybe it won't be affected. Still, I'm not taking any chances. Taking it offline.
@DoomsdaysCW I don’t know the answer to this, sorry.
