Useful Thing- 602Pro PC Suite Talk about a useful program. Actually, a useful collection of programs. This is an excellent substitute for Microsoft's expensive Office suite. This suite offers you full featured word processing, spread sheet, fax and photo editing programs all for free, although the photo editing program is a bit weak. There are better freeware photo editing programs to be found. I've known about this program for quite some time but never was willing to recommend it for it's lack of a spell checker unless you purchased it from them. Now, however, if you register the program ( registration is free ) it unlocks the basic spell checking feature. Here's the description from the website- "Seamless compatibility with Microsoft Office is a must today. 602Pro PC SUITE 2000 is composed of three components: 602Text (word processor), 602Tab (spreadsheet) and 602Photo (graphic editor). 602Text is a powerful word processor compatible with Microsoft Word (.DOC 9x/2000) and many other document file types. 602Tab is a Microsoft Excel (.XLS 9x/2000) compatible spreadsheet with over 150 available functions. 602Photo is a graphics editor designed for digital camera and scanner image editing with support for over 15 graphic formats."
