Microsoft Office 2010

Deakin

I've been told that members of U3A can buy the full Microsoft Office 2010 package for £40 which I believe is the same as students and teachers, this seems a good deal.

What I'd like to know is if this is only for U3A members or can any pensioner buy it? And if not, how can I become a member of U3A?

Just in case any young person hasn't heard of U3A, its a learning organisation (University of the 3rd age) for retired people

You could start by asking software 4 students, they have deals for academic and charity organisations amongst others

The offers which include anti virus etc are not that wonderful IMO

This PDF is on one of their (users?) websites...

I don't see any obvious reason why pensioners (or bus drivers or shop assistants or any other arbitrary group) would be eligible for a concession from Microsoft!

See this web page for information about Eligibility from Software4Students.
