Open Source

Would you like to try operating software different from Windows and Mac? Would you like to explore other browsers, word processing, or photo manipulator computer programs? Would you like to try them for FREE?

Then you might like to learn about Open Source products. Open Source is peer-reviewed software. This means the community creates, edits, and distributes the software and you the consumer get to have it for free. For a more in depth definition, go here.

Some examples of Open Source products you may already be using:

• Mozilla Firefox Browser
• Mozilla Thunderbird Email Client
• Ubuntu
• GIMP
• Linux

If you would like to try open source programs that are comparable to the Microsoft Office Suite, try OpenOffice.org.

You never know. Microsoft and Apple might soon be a thing of the past.
