    I'm not sure if this has been posted anywhere else but here it is anyway:

    See- http://www.openoffice.org/index.html for details. I understand it is completely compatible with Microsoft office and totally free! *(there is a link for donations- which I recommend!)

    Anywhoo thought I'd give the heads up. Also, anybody with OpenOffice experience please share!

    Yea, Open Office has been around and suggested for quite a while, nothing new :)

    I recommend it over Microsoft's office, although on older laptops, the RAM usage may be aggrivating :p

    I like open office alot. But I need grammer check. Sure grammer check is only half accurate. But I still need it. I wish they're was an alternative to Openoffice with a grammer check as well as spell check. Can someone help grant my wish? =)
