Still using Microsoft Office for Word, Excel, etc.?  Well, there's a better way than shelling out $150 or more for each upgrade.  Open Office, which is made by Sun Systems, allows opening and saving of ALL MS Office formats, + they also use more universal formats like ODF (which may someday be the new standard).  This suite has a lot to offer and it also does more.  One thing I love is it's ability to export PDFs, try that MS.
