-My experience with Camstudio
-I found Camstudio very easy to use. It has many different functions that help to make you more comfortable using it. It's made to fit your needs. I learned how to use it very quickly and it also downloaded very quickly to my computer. Plus it's totally free so that's really cool too. It also comes with a movie player and a SWF producer.

5 Alternatives to "Office"
1. Ability Software
-Ability Office is an easy to use and an easy to afford software suite. It’s perfect for use in the office, home, or school. Ability Office is available in three different suites, each designed for specific users. I think that Ability Office is a better alternative to Microsoft Office because it has many of the same features. It’s supposed to be easy to use and it’s so much cheaper than Microsoft Office.

2. Applixware
-Appixware is a much cheaper alternative to Microsoft Office yet it has many of the same features. The full-featured suite includes modules such as a word processor, a real time event driven spreadsheet, a programmable vector graphic tool, a database interface, and much more. It’s designed to work in Windows as well as the UNIX/Linux operating environments.

3. StarOffice Software
-StarOffice is also a much cheaper alternative to Microsoft Office with the same features. It has powerful and integrated word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, drawing, and database capabilities. It can also read and edit Microsoft Office files. You can download this software directly off the StarOffice website for $34.95. You also get a free PDF import and export capability. A new feature for this software is that it can be supported Macintosh OS X as well as several other operating environments.

4. Google Docs
-Google Docs is a much better alternative to Microsoft Office because it is totally free and it has the same features as Microsoft Office.
