    Good Open Source Alternative for Paid Software, that are Free.

    PC Software is expensive - here are 3 Free Alaternatives that I use and recommend

    No matter what you use your computer for, one of the most valuable programs on it will be an Office Suite. You can use it to write letters, catalogue your recipe collection, draw up a spreadsheet and even as an electronic diary. An the most popular off office suite is Microsoft Office. But even the least expensive version will cost you just under R1000 (Microsoft Office 2013 Home and Student Edition – 1 User R949.95 on Kalahari.com) and the cheapest business version is R2400.00. Keep in mind, that the software licence will only allow you to load it on one PC, so if you have two PCs, you must buy two copies. Then you have the fact that you will need to upgrade every few years.

    Expensive, especially if you only use it every so often. But, there is a solution that is FREE (your favourite new word!)
