Mmmm. That's a real bargain price. My own licensed copy of MS Office cost me nearly two hundred quid a couple of years ago!

Meanwhile, Microshaft just asked us for one million two hundred and seventy thousand dollars for 1100 MS Office licences. I told them we'll just buy 400 licenses and everyone else will 'make do' with the freeware Open Office and Microshaft's own freeware Word and Excel readers, downloaded from their website. From where I sit, it looks like Uncle Bill is getting increasingly worried by open source and is starting to sell some neat bargains.
