When I say “Office Suite” most people would think “Microsoft Office”. What if you could simply use an office suite, that wouldn't have to be installed on your computer, and is absolutely free (and has basically the same functionality as MS Office)?
What I am talking about is an Online Office Suite. So you can take it anywhere that you have internet access. My personal favorite is ThinkFree. I think ThinkFree is the best for several reasons, mainly that it has a similar interface to MS Office so there is no need to spend time trying to figure out how to insert a picture into a document.
ThinkFree gives you 1GB of space to store documents, spreadsheets, and even presentations! The main APP in this suite is ThinkFree Documents, but it also includes a spreadsheet APP similar to MS Excel, and a presentation program that appears to be a diluted form of PowerPoint. But ThinkFree does have its flaws, hosting to many presentation files can easily eat all of your space up very quickly.
Google Docs is another one of my favorite online office suites. Its interface is much likes Gmail's and it is simply simple! It doesn't have so many features as ThinkFree, but it allows you to get the job done quickly and simply. Google's spreadsheet program is very fast and simple just like Google Docs.
