Download of the Day #42

Whew. It's been a long time since I gave you some goods. Lots of things on my plate, like vacations and hard drive deaths, have kept me away from searching the net and trying out the programs and stuff that help you guys out.
Onto the cheddar....

If you're still trying to run you computer with that pirated copy of Microsoft's Office, or you just bought a new laptop (wink, wink) and it only has a trial version installed and you don't have a pirated copy, then this is for you.
Everyone needs a word processor, an 'excel' spreadsheet program, a 'power point' program... All those things came with Microsoft Office. But they didn't come free, and let's face it, they take up alot of computer resources.
Enter Open Office. It's got all the programs you need, open-source style, so you don't have to kowtow to the man. Totally compatible with all MS .doc, .ppt, .xls files. Yup, it runs on Macs, too.
"OpenOffice.org is a multiplatform and multilingual office suite and an open-source project. Compatible with all other major office suites, the product is free to download, use, and distribute."
Check it out as your Microsoft alternative.
