9 Of The Best Free & Low-Cost Alternatives To Microsoft Office | makeuseof | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it

"Microsoft Office has dominated the market of text documents, spreadsheets and slide shows for years, and for good reason – it’s one of the very best. However, there’s one drawback and that is the price. Sure, it’s a relatively good investment, but for one reason or another you choose to not pay for it. What do you do?

 

"Thankfully, there are other options – and good ones. These range from web-based apps and local software to free and paid. Although some do cost, all have free options and the price you pay for the paid software is a fraction of what you would pay for Microsoft Office. Through this article I will touch upon any unique features such as mobile capability, cost, user interface and compatibility with Microsoft Office files."

I have been using Open Office for many years with good results.  Also try

the Ipad app OnLive Desktop which provides access to Office programs free of charge.  It is available free at the App Store.

Even though there is an array of music available on YouTube, up until recently you could only enjoy listening to it while watching the video at the same time. This significantly limits how and where you can listen to the exclusive music on YouTube.

 

Now you can quickly and simply rip the music from any YouTube video with the free converter from YouTubeMP3.tv. By downloading just the mp3 from your favorite music video, you can play it on your home PC, on your portable listening device or your smartphone giving you the possibility to listen to it on the road, at the gym, or even at the beach.
