Free wireless mouse worth £30 when you buy Microsoft Office at PC World/Currys

Expecto

Just spotted this on the PC World website:

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/microsoft-office-home-and-student-2010-with-free-mouse-12120997-pdt.html


If you're planning on buying a copy of Microsoft Office for school/uni/work then you get a nice wireless mouse with it for nothing.

It's also on Currys if you'd prefer to go there.



Hope this helps someone.

If you're a student or even staff at a university, Enquire with your university first as you may find it even cheaper.
My wife (staff) picked it up at her university for £15 or £25 for Office (we can't remember which it was).

Asking the question first may say you a few £'s

Just about to purchase the student one - got a child so no fraud taking place - and a colleague told me about Open Office which is a free download offering similar to Microsoft office. If you are not too bothered about it being Microsoft this may be worth a look.

I couldn't possibly say, but surely you know a child out there that needs a copy and will be happy to do their homework at your house!!!:)

Open Office is good. It is produced by Oracle (was formerly owned by Sun Microsystems) and I have used it many times. It does the job and it has its benefits, but for £35 I would go with MS Office anytime as it's what I know and doesn't need any further training. Up to you I suppose. Also there is no Outlook equivelent in Open Office so if you want an email package you need to use another tool as well as Open Office..

£30 for the mouse :rotfl:

It's only £11.99 at Amazon

It may have an overinflated RRP of £29.99 but worth it?
