Thoughtprints: Getting Ready for School

It's almost that time again. What time, you ask? School time. I simply can't believe the summer has zipped by as fast as it did! Soon we'll all be in the stores buying new school clothes, shoes and supplies. In that vein, I'd like to tell you about a very good deal I learned about.

The people at Costcaptain.com are a Microsoft Authorized Education Reseller. What that means is that they offer 100% Authentic Microsoft products at academic discounts. They sell brand new Office 2007 Suite and Vista to students and staff of schools, libraries and research labs, AND -- this is what really caught my eye -- homeschools! You may not think you're eligible, but the criteria one must meet is actually quite broad. If you meet the following criteria, you are eligible to acquire Microsoft Academic Edition (AE) products in the programs indicated, and are defined as Qualified Educational Users (you can also follow the link above to find a link to Microsoft's requirements page):

Educational Institutions

Administrative Offices & Boards of Education

Teachers, Faculty and Staff

Students

Public Libraries

Public Museums

Home-School Programs

The prices are excellent, as in Microsoft Office 2007 from $129.99! How about Microsoft Office 2007 Home & Student for $125.00! Pretty good, eh? They are 100% authentic, genuine Microsoft products at special academic pricing. Products are shipped ASAP and with tracking numbers so that you will always know where it is once it leaves their building for yours. Personally speaking, I always appreciate having tracking numbers for the things I buy. It's just a little peace of mind, ya' know? Anyway, now that I know homeschools are accepted, I'm definitely going to be taking a real good look at this!
