Re: Open Office

Over the last four years, schools in the state of Indiana have moved
over to OpenOffice - as well as free and open source operating systems
and free and open source applications - and have saved 50% to 75% on the
total cost of ownership per PC. I have spoken with many of the teachers
and administrators and they have been very happy. Especially because
they can get a PC for every student with the money they've been saving.
