Good, compatible and even free (or at least cheap) substitutes for Microsoft Office Courtesy of http://www.GeerCom.com.

Did you know you can get cheap or free tools to substitute for many or all those found in Microsoft Office?

Well, for $70 you can download StarOffice 8, which the reviewer in this article believes is the best competition for Microsoft Office yet: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1864224,00.asp.

For free you can get this tool, OpenOffice 2.0, which gets a very good rating from this reviewer: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1850984,00.asp.

Other options include the free 602 PC Suite at:

The reason my blogs have been small (but hopefully mighty) of late is that my career as a freelance technical journalist has been growing and I'm at a loss for the valuable asset known as time.

I haven't forgotten you though and will be blogging again soon.

Stay subscribed and stay well.

Best,
