School District To Parents — Buy Office 2007

Posted by kdawson on from the no-more-parents'-dirty-looks dept.

WS Nick writes "Batavia school district in Illinois is recommending that parents of high school students upgrade their home computers to Microsoft Office 2007. Why not use one of the free alternatives and relieve parents of some of the financial burden they face to buy all the stuff for their children the school requires?" A comment from a reader points out how easy it is to interoperate with Office 2007 from earlier versions.

    lostguru, you sound like a nice young man. But there is a certain word that should never be misspelled, especially when you're trying to explain how you are "SMARTER THAN YOU!"

    Please take this in the spirit in which it's meant.
