and a service pack for Softmaker/Ashampoo Office
Service Pack 490 for SoftMaker Office 2008 for Windows
Darwin:
Thanks for the heads up, Tom :Thmbsup: What I LOVE about SoftMaker/Ashampoo Office is how quickly it opens up and how comparably fully featured it is. I'm waiting impatiently for DataMaker to be released - hope (with a sense of futility) that it will be included as part of a Service Pack for SM Office 2008. Suspect it will be sold as a standalone product initially and included in the next full Office release.

looks interesting - I havent a clue about databases though, guess I'm learning a bit using SQLNotes
Of course, you'll get academic pricing - Softmaker Office is dirt cheap with that
(- just realised that's how come you can afford to indulge your software habit without going bankrupt :P )
Darwin:
Nah... still morally bankrupt!
