[us-marketing] Kim Komando Show [newsletter] promotes LibreOffice

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
