Off topic and I hope this isn't viewed as a commercial post somehow. Especially since it isn't even reef related.
I do not work for Microsoft.

It seems to me that we have quite a few students that frequent this website and I thought I would share this tid bit of info.

Microsoft is giving the deal of a lifetime on the entire suite of MS Office 2007 for students for only $59.95. You must prove you are a student.

Read about it here:

Funny, I just got a letter from my IT Dept, letting us know that MS is offering everyone that works in the company 50% discount in all their software, they must be hurting, I've never seen MS do anything like this, at least not in this proportion.

Wish I was a student again. That product retails for close to $700.

The reason is students download the software for free, they use corporate cd's that don't required activation. But the same thing is happening to apple based software. I hope they don't hurt too much because Bill Gates and his wife are the most generous people of any of the billionaires in the world.

Shoot, glad to serve. There are 36,000 reasons why I joined. Thats how many American Soldiers died in the Korean War.
