Software...FAO: Anotherview & chuck

[smudge]

I've always paid for my software & have never downloaded anything illegally & wouldn't wish to.

The reason for posting my original question on Microsoft Powerpoint, which has since been removed (& I can see why Ed), was because I phoned a supplier yesterday to ask the price of this software for my granddaughter's school homework & was told I could try downloading it free via the website I mentioned.

This person obviously shouldn't have told me that & I will now pop into my local suppliers & pay �85 for it instead!

Just thought I'd put the record straight - being the honest person I am!

No problem smudge. It is rather exorbitant for what it is and unfortunately, people downloading it for free only push the price up.

Like Bill Gates needs your �85 eh?

If you missed the last post I put on your original question you can download a 60day trial of office, including PP, for free from microsoft perfectly legally.

Also the student edition is less than �85

Thank you anotherview, I wholeheartedly agree!

Thank you too Chuck. I had already looked up the free 30 day trial offer at Microsoft, but will buy it anyway.

I was going to pop into Staples, but will certainly look at buying it from Amazon instead. Much cheaper!

Thanks again.

Whoops - I meant the 60 day trial. ;o}
