You can save tons on software -

Did you know that you can get an academic discount on software if you are a student or teacher, a school administrator or a faculty member, or are purchasing for an accredited school, college, or a hospital directly affiliated with an educational institution?
Since almost everyone is one of these, or KNOWS one of these who can make the purchase, NO ONE should be paying full price for software.
It's really, really true. We saved a ton on Adobe Acrobat just recently using O.O.'s student status.
Here is the website of just one of many stores on the internet that are set up to accept student discounts.
