Suppose you think the price Microsoft charges for Office is ridiculous. Maybe you're tired of Internet Explorer and its security vulnerabilities and its dreary interface. Maybe you like to customize your browser the way you want to. Or maybe you want to retouch your images and make them beautiful, yet can't afford Adobe's Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements, or Paint Shop Pro for that matter). My friends, welcome to the thrill of open source software.

I was never a fan of gimp but I'd used open office through most of
college. not a fan of their newest release but they're excellent
alternatives for the whiney people who say 'I dont have Office, I
can't do the homework'.

I made all my students download it and keep it on their jump drive
the first week of classes for kids like that.
