Seems, I've missed my deadline again.
I spent yesterday getting caught up in both of my classes, and also getting caught up on some much needed sleep, so I'm sorry that I missed out on the post I promised. But I got a good one today.
There is a variety of software that the University of Phoenix requires you to have in order to be able to appropriately present your materials in class. Basically a big part of this requirement is Microsoft Office- Word, Excel, PowerPoint, whatever. I've got a secret for you though.
YOU DON'T NEED TO SPEND MONEY ON THIS SOFTWARE!!!
And I'm not saying steal it either. I haven't advocated that since I became old enough to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Besides, there are alternatives out there that are free and functional. The main one I want to talk about at this point is OpenOffice.org. Yeah, I know it looks like a website, but it's a software suite too! And guess what? It totally replaces Microsoft Office, and its FREE!!!
There's Writer (Word), Calc (Excel), and Impress (PowerPoint). Those are the three main ones right there. Then there's also Base (Access), and two other programs: Draw- a paint program with many more features than the one that comes with Windows, and Math- some kind of crazy scientific calculator program that I don't quite understand yet.
Did I mention you can get all this for free? NO SPYWARE! NO ADWARE! Just plain free.
So don't pay however many hundred bucks that Microsoft Office costs now. Go to the following link and download it for free.
This is not an advertisement. I don't get squat for this. I just want you to know it's out there.
Peace,
