| Summary: | "Just about every name-brand application on the market that costs money faces a high-quality competing product available at no cost. This book collects some of the best free software available today and compares it side by side with the big-name applications." "You'll discover how Google Docs can be used instead of Microsoft Office. Let GIMP handle your photo editing jobs - move over Photoshop. Play Runes of Magic instead of World of Warcraft and have just as much fun without paying monthly fees. These are just a few examples of the free software covered in this book." "You'll also gain a better understanding of when paying for software is justified and when it is not, and why these days it's more the latter. Don't Spend a Dime makes computing fun again by leading you to top-quality and freely available software that unleashes your creativity and lets you get results, without parting with your hard-earned cash."--Jacket |
