Good point -- it's also important to note that the majority of
office workers in the U.S. -do- have some version of Office
installed on their computers, which means that it's not an
extra purchase for the company/school if they choose to use
FP2K.  Thus it's effectively "free" even if it's not technically
free software -- since you wanted Word and Excel and Powerpoint
anyway, you didn't have to fork over anything extra for FP2K.
