Software for Starving Students
January 3, 2008Graduation comes in only a few months, and your precious youngsters are about to make the harsh transition from parent-subsidized affluence to scrounging up change for laundry they should’ve washed weeks ago. They’re ready for college classes, but can they juggle homework and a 20-40 hour a week job?
Do your soon-to-be cash strapped students a favor and tell them about Software for Starving Students. It’s a bundle of great programs you probably already know about like Open Office, Audacity, Firefox, plus stuff you might not have heard of like PDFCreator (you get three guesses what this does), and Blender, a 3D graphics program. Everything is free, and students can get it all in one easy download, rather than jumping from site to site to download the apps.
The software is available for both PC and Mac users. FYI, the download is in .img format for CD burning, so you’ll need a CD burning program to install it (there’s one included in the download, for all the good that will do you).
The only problem with most of this free software is that the people who need it don’t know it exists. With Software for Starving Students, your kids can get a bundle of useful programs in one shot and still have money to wash their whites. –BILL FERRIS
