Week 7 – Tute Spark

This week's Tutespark was a bit more hands on. We have been asked to try some free software alternatives.

I chose to try out two – Firefox and Openoffice – and got two different options.

Let me start with Firefox.

Great program. Quick to download, very functional ... I'm not sure what it is about this program I like so much, but it has certainly replaced Internet Explorer for me!

OpenOffice... Not such a fan. To begin with I never really liked Microsoft Office programs, but hated OpenOffice. I guess I have been using Microsoft office programs for the last 15 years, and even though OpenOffice is free, iI'm still convinced Microsoft is better for my needs as a student.

I'll stick with Firefox, but OpenOffice is already in my trash can
