Then you must be older than you claim, because freeware has been around 
nearly as long as computing has been.

$200 isn't very much money if you have it.  We've been over that before.

But as Darren said, if you don't want to pay $200 for it, don't - use a 
free alternative.  But don't be surprised if you discover that the free 
version doesn't have the same features as the $200 one does or can't read 
the files that people send you.

Though with openoffice/libreoffice, my experience has been good, some 
people haven't had similar experiences.
