Hey. New board.

That is almost certainly rebranded OpenOffice, Tommy. Or even the somewhat older StarOffice. The "Developed by Sun Microsystems" give it away.

(OpenOffice : StarOffice :: Mozilla : Netscape)

ETA: The fact that those screenshots are in fact not even OS X windows (they're X11 windows) makes me even more certain of that, as OpenOffice currently has to run under X11 on OS X, just like that Luxblahblah thing.

Also, see if she knows any students...a lot of times they can get the student edition of Office for very cheap (that's how I got mine...a friend who has friends at a certain college can get copies for $10...sadly, way too tenuous a connection to help you out personally)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A co-worker just received his Neo Ion iPod adapter for his car, and he's totally in love. I'm intrigued. Looks like a fairly small doohickey, and it makes your CD player/tape player controls control the iPod.

All is well that ends in pizza.

ita, I think you should get one of these for your iPod before you get a car adapter.

Too bulky. I like something a little tighter.

What Dana said.

Companies get specially non-boxed versions of software at massivly discounted prices to include with their computers/drives.etc. They usually have specially licensed versions of the end user agreement.

They are not supposed to be sold outright, in theory.
