They were Windows Word and Office I think. My husband eventually received them, but it took about 6 weeks to get from UK to here - I imagine they were languishing somewhere in customs waiting to be viewed and cleared.
Coming out of Baghdad in the early 80s a lady security guard took me into a curtained off cubicle!!!! She took away my nail varnish remover (can't remember why I had that in hand baggage) which I didn't care about. However, she also grabbed hold of a music cassette I had. It took some quite fierce convincing from my side to get it back from her. I had recorded all my old 45s (vynil records) which went back to the 1950s on that cassette and I had no intention of letting go of it.
God knows what she thought I had recorded whilst in Iraq - Marsh Arabs rubbishing Saddam Hussein perhaps?
