Granted, I do this w/ some stuff, but of course w/ my licenses I can't do it for Microsoft crap... but then again they tend ot have betas, release versions and other trials typically.

Yeah I think Im going to have to find a trial for microsoft word. I had it but dont know where the disc is and it got deleted in the reformat. Im hoping to find it but if not looks like Ill be buying a new copy.

not sure if many of you would be interested, but look into the Microsoft Action Pack.... $300/yr and about 10k easily worth of software for you to use.

Look at OpenOffice. It's free and will do anything that MS Office will do, including work with MS Office documents.

I'm not real big on the interface, but definitely am on the concept.

Check with your company. Your IT department (if you have one) may have a partnership with MS. My company does, and I bought Office07 pro for a whopping $20... just a thought.

Ill have to look into that. Home Depot gives me discounts on a ton of stuff but Ive never checked into software. Great suggestion.

That's always an option, but also when you leave the company most of the license agreements state that you have to uninstall the software. just FYI.

Google Docs. Simple enough and you can get to your documents anywhere. We keep bill totals/due dates/yadda yadda in GDoc's, just makes it easy to hit from anywhere we want. Did a lot of our wedding planning in GDoc's while I was in Afghanistan, made it easy to track changes and work on documents togehter w/o emailing attachments back n forth.

I'm needing some new anti-virus stuff since my Norton is up in a few days. I've heard about AVG but why would I want to uninstall it?
