| ##Save money on your new computer |
| |
| Are you buying yourself a new computer?, or buying one for someone else? If so, here is a money saving tip that your computer vendor may not be telling you. |
| |
| You are not required to spend $100, $200 or more for a copy of Microsoft Office. You can buy a computer without Office installed, and save that money. Then when you go home, try the free, [Apache OpenOffice (AOO)][1]. It has a word processor, a spreadsheet and a presentation editor. It can read Microsoft files. It can export to PDF. It works on Windows XP - Windows 10, macOS (OS X) and Linux. And it is absolutely free! |
| |
| How can we give this to you for free? We are a nonprofit organization with the charitable mission to publish free software for the public. That's what we do. We want you to have free software. |
| |
| So when the salesman tries to load up your computer invoice with all those "extras", just say "Thank you, but No. I will install AOO". |
