Open Source Software
Most people know about the great open source programs out there that allow you to complete your work without spending thousands of dollars on software.
One of the most popular is OpenOffice.org; the open source word, spreadsheet, and presentation software meant to replace Microsoft Office.
One of my favorite open source applications is known as GIMP, which stands for: GNU Image Manipulation Program.
GIMP is a program that is meant to replace Adobe’s Photoshop. Although there is still work that needs to be completed to make it as powerful as Photoshop, GIMP is a great tool for those of us who don’t want to spend all of our money on software.
