Only $10? But I could get it for free…

I'm in a class at college that requires use of Microsoft Project. Because of an arrangement between the school and Microsoft, all students can acquire a copy of MS Project for only $10. Amazing price, don't you think? Especially considering the $599 cost of a copy of MS Project. I guess the major users of Project are subsidizing the students. That, and Microsoft wants to encourage use of Project by practically giving it away to students who will use it later in their careers.

Still, $10 is $10, and I value all of my dollars, so I tried to find an alternative: I can have access to MS Project for free through the computer lab at school. The tradeoff is that I have to be at school to use it, but hey, I'm here five days a week anyway. So, that $10 will go to the more worthy cause of helping me to start my internet business.
