With Guest Expert: James Gaskin, Technology is Broken and Gaskin.com

Our conversation with James Gaskin was enlightening. He took us through the basics of open source software with examples like the Firefox browser and Thunderbird email client from Mozilla. For the most part, open source software is free for the consumer which can mean big savings.

One of the biggest software expenses is usually Microsoft Office at several hundred dollars. However, the open souce version, Open Office, is considered to be equal if not better and it's FREE. To get a powerful suite of design, productivity, Internet, and networking tools, go to theopencd.org.
