 | StarOffice 6.0
Opens all the Microsoft Office formats and saves in them too, but for soooooo much less money. Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and drawing program equivalents. Free in Red Hat Linux or from getopenoffice.org
|
 | Microsoft Office XP Standard for Students and Teachers
I thought I needed it, but I was wasting the school budget. The number one thing you don't need. Think it's cheap? Think again. You can get the same for cheap or free. See StarOffice in this list.

 | Office XP Standard
Buy new: £249.99 / Used from: £105.99 I paid for this at home, and now I want to shoot myself. StarOffice is so much less.
|
 | Staroffice 6.0 Companion (Sun Microsystems Press) by Solveig Haugland
Buy new: £31.99 / Used from: £0.90 Brilliant book on how to actually do things and not just an endless treatise on how clever the software people were.
|
 | Office XP for Dummies by Wallace Wang
Buy new: £10.15 / Used from: £0.01 I bought this too, and it's now in the dustbin.
|
 | Windows XP Home Edition
Something else I'll never buy again that you don't need either.
|
 | Red Hat Linux 8.0 Personal
My new operating system, linux, which is actually reasonably easy this time. I got a clever young man to come in from the linux users group and he made it rather simple for all of the teachers.
|
 | Windows XP Annoyances by David A. Karp
Buy used from: £0.16 The other book in my dustbin. The biggest Windows annoyance is paying for it, and I don't do that anymore.
|
 | Red Hat Linux 8 Bible (Bible (Wiley)) by Christopher Negus
Buy used from: £0.32 And this is what is on the shelf instead. Like the StarOffice book it's actually clear about what needs doing.
