| "The caveat is that we must buy low-cost computers, and we must use open
| source software," Hopper said, adding that he has found suppliers for
| desktop computers at $300 each and laptops at $500 each. Star Office

| compatible with Microsoft software that a student might have on a

| with Microsoft's Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
