[MacTUG] FYI: Office 2008 vs. iWork vs. NeoOffice vs. OpenOffice

[Glenn Anderson]

The $10 price was mentioned in the article, I assume that is the  
price (US) for education site licensing (which would be just the  
license, not the manual/disks/packaging/etc that one gets when buying  
from the store).
If you want the exact educational costs, you would have to check with  
Sandra Laughlin.

Note:  The $10 does sound reasonable, as one can buy the family pack  
for $99 (Educational from Apple) and use it for 5 computers, so that  
works out to $20 a copy, and that does include a CD/manual/packaging/ 
etc.
