The following open source programs are those that I use on a regular basis
Open Office
£150 to £200 is a lot of money and why fork over the cash if you can get something that does the job just as well, can read and write MS word and excel files (.doc and .xls) and is free. There is even a mac version too!
Firefox
Firefox will work with most website and it has features that IE doesn’t like tabbed browsing, a pop up blocker and a great text search feature (hint – press Ctrl-F once you’ve installed it and look at the bottom of the browser window) So get it now.
Tip: Once you got it installed you can press ctrl-t and it’ll open up a new browser tab – this is one of the most valuable features
