misunderstanding (Score 1)

Perhaps I misunderstood the the purpose of the program. I thought it was to provide this software, documentation, and some clip art to the students in a depressed area. This way they have an office program they can use at home that is compatible with the MS Office applications they probably use at school. This would be a great idea, however if the purpose was to try to save the school some money then, I don't think there will be huge savings to the district. I have been a systems analyst at a school district in Florida for about 10 years now and we get MS office, and most other software, at super steep discounts. It would cost more to produce the cd's for open office with documentation and a clipart license than it would for a school district to purchase MS Office through a qualified software reseller.
