I wrote to them ages ago to get permission to use the their section's tag-line and they approved it.

If you never heard of Kim Komando, the digital goddess, she has a nationally broadcasted tech radio 
show, e-newsletters, and a column in USA Today national newspaper.

In her "Daily Download" e-newsletter, she is promoting LibreOffice as a Microsoft Office 
Alternative.

This lady has a large following on the radio, and with her e-newsletters.  I do not read USA Today, 
so I do not know how well those articles are.

So here is another way for advertisement and promotion for LibreOffice.

Below is the listing in the "Daily Download" and the online article.  I have removed the non-LO 
related  information and advertising from these so it will not be an issue.

A free substitute for Microsoft Office

Microsoft Office is the gold standard for productivity software. It's used by everyone from 
students to major corporations. That popularity is definitely reflected in the price tag.

What if you can't afford Microsoft Office? Perhaps you just need something for a short-term project 
and can't justify the investment right now. Good news: There are several free alternatives to 
Office. Depending on your needs, some work just as well as Microsoft's productivity suite.

LibreOffice is an excellent alternative. It offers six programs, and you'll find most of them 
instantly familiar.

For example there's Writer, which is a Word clone. Then there's Calc, which is a spreadsheet like 
Excel. There's also Impress, a presentation program similar to PowerPoint.

Those are the options you're most likely to need. A drawing program, a database program and an 
equation program round out the offerings. All of these combined make for an excellent replacement 
to pricier suites.

LibreOffice is also compatible with the most popular document formats. It can read .DOC from Word 
and .XLS from Excel, for example. That only scrapes the surface of what it offers.

Cost: Free
Systems: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Mac OSX
