[QUOTE="pershingd, post: 1173900, member: 143643"] If you need an office suite and cannot afford MS Office, I highly recommend NeoOffice. It is a open source office suite that is fairly compatible with MS Office. Admittedly it is not as smooth and pretty as the commercial product, but it has worked well for me. Another good program is Gimp. It is a open source Photoshop clone if you need that sort of thing. I've used it in the past as was blown away with the level of sophistication and power it has. Finally, if you want to work with music files, you really need Audacity. I have been slowly converting my record and tape collection over to MP3 and have found this an extremely useful program. It allows me to record the audio, filter out unwanted noise, and save it in MP3 or MP4 file formats. It certainly can do more than what I use it for, so you may find more uses for it than I. Let us know what type of program(s) you want/need and I'm sure that someone here can suggest something to help you out. [/QUOTE]
