Another outstanding freebie is OpenOffice v1.0 released 5/1 at www.openoffice.org. This is the Open Source version of StarOffice v6.0, which is the only real competitor to Microsoft Office. OpenOffice and StarOffice both handle the same data formats as MS Office, but at a SUBSTANTIALLY reduced price of FREE - $50 or so compared to hundreds of $$'s. OpenOffice runs on Windows, Linux, Solaris. Filesize is 50-70 meg depending on version so be patient. You may wish to try a mirror site, as the servers has been bombarded with requests. (I got my best download from the mirror in Spain rather than NY) ~*~*~*~*~ For a complete list of email commands for our list send an email to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with a subject line of "info 1stpicksoftware" without the quotes.
