[blindlaw] cheapest Way to Get Microsoft Office 2003 Software

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello Steve Tim et al:

     There is a site called CampusTech: http://www.campustech.com

that offers both hardware and software at a big discount. I saw Office 2007 
for less than $200. Looking at Ebay, Office 2003 was in the $250 range. Hope 
this helps.

Regards,

Robert
