Consider alternatives to Microsoft software for school computers
----------------------------------------------------------------
"An excellent alternative to Microsoft’s Office (list price $499 per
computer) is OpenOffice (list price: Free). A superb alternative to
Adobe’s PhotoShop (list price: $560 per computer) is the GNU Image
Manipulation Program (GIMP, list price: free).

The examples of free and open source alternatives to expensive software
are nearly boundless.

Consider how much money schools and government would save if we
switched away from software costing hundreds of dollars per computer to
free software."
