OpenOffice

I stumbled across a program today called OpenOffice. It's free at www.openoffice.org. It basically does everything that Microsoft Office would let you do: lets you create text documents, spread sheets, presentations, etc., and it lets you save in compatable file formats. I haven't messed with it that much because I have Microsoft Office on my computer already, but this might be really useful if you don't have it.

If I get my own laptop, I'll definitely use that.

I assume it's public domain?

I've used OpenOffice for about a year and a half, and it
has limited capabilities in comparison; you can't do as much with graphs and calculations. Kind of a problem for the scientifically inclined; great for writing papers.
