software

The programs you mentioned are called COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf), and can only be procured by buying legal licences for them. The best place I've found have been local computer software stores.

I have found several free software places for non-license required software, sometimes known as freeware, the link to the site I personally use is:

http://www.freewarefiles.com/

Hope you enjoy your computer.

For any commercial software package, your only legitimate option is to purchase a copy of the software.

Take a look at the software section of www.pricewatch.com for the best deals.

If you are a college student, you can often get discounted academic versions from the student book store. Some schools even have site licenses and you can get a copy of many programs from the computer support department.

Another good option is Open Office.
Open Office www.openoffice.org is a freeware version of Sun Microsystem's Star Office. You can open and save documents in Word and Excel format, so this is a good choice if you have limited funds.

et there.
See when the computer spins the harddrive it creates a several feild effects and one of the big ones is a receiving antenna effect that loads directly from the NET/WEB; get up Microsoft Access and run the search mechanism that comes with it and search for it at: Home : then install and activate it; there is no fee as it is in the Public Domain and one of the reasons everyone tried to get Microsoft to not do MSWindows enviroment into an openfaced I/O sphere; the Supreme Court state that if your going top broadcast it all over gods creation then you can't charge for it and already there are laws that say if its already in something you bought or received as a gift your royalty obligation is satisfied for that item.

RIVER FREIGHT

You have not stated which version of Windows is installed on your computer. If it is XP, then only very recent versions of software are likely to be compatible.
If it is an earlier version (up to Millennium) you can pick up software at bargain prices at garage sales and opportunity shops.
For example, I purchased MS Office Professional 97 for $1. Recent versions of Corel WordPerfect Suite can often be found in amongst second-hand software in a shop, and is very cheap.
You might also look out for Lotus Smartsuite. I obtained the Millennium version free with a computer magazine.
Otherwise, downloading the freeware version of Star Office is a good alternative.
