There are
several free or open source programs available for the home
and office user. We use many of these same programs daily
and recommend them for our clients in specific situations.
You can essentially completely equip your computer to do
just about anything you want with these free programs. Since
they are free, try them out. You might find that the free
version may suit your needs completely and you don't need to
spend extra for commercial software.
