Getting software

[oddzag]

I apologize if this is an inappropriate section, but I couldn't see any other to suit the topic.

I start class tomorrow and I was supposed to buy MS Office Excel 2010 which costs easily $100.00+. I just finished buying my books (spent $226.00 on a French textbook >.<) and I can't afford Excel. Anyone know how to get it cheaper with a 5 finger discount?

Could you possible provide the link to such a site?

If your school isn't on it, contact your program chair and get them to request approval.

You can always use Skydrive or Google Docs if you need to.
