Need a cheap (or rather free) office pack…? Try out this free office pack and see if it that you can use. You don’t have to waste money on Microsoft Office. Go opensource. I have chosen to use mostly opensource and free (public domain) software and PHP-scripts. I buy software rarely these days. Can I find a free alternativ I go for it.

I recommend the portable version of Open Office 3.
Stick it on a USB memory pen and you are good to go.
