Hi Ed
Just one thing you forgot to mention, office is now considerably cheaper if you
go for the 2013 version when you purchase the office at 365 subscription
product. This gets you all the office programs, 20 GB of SkyDrive storage space
and Skype world minutes all four £79.99 per year if purchased directly from
Microsoft and somewhat cheaper if you buy on sites like Amazon.
