| 1309646 | 2012-10-30 04:52:00 | Hi All, I administer an NZ registered Charitable Trust, and have just received an email from Techsoup which indicates our group could be elligible for ridiculously cheap software (OS and Office). It seems too good to be true. The only info online seems to be their own info, so the site, and its related 'partners' haven't had much online discussion, so I haven't been able to determine if they're bogus or brilliant! Have any others among you had any exposure to this group before? TIA. |

| 1309647 | 2012-10-30 04:57:00 | Never mind. I found reference to them at the Charities.org.nz (govt) website, so it looks like they're the real deal. While software is a tiny factor (up to now done mostly at my own expense) I'm giddy with anticipation of any chance for an affordable upgrade. |

| 1309649 | 2012-10-30 05:42:00 | Go for it. Just make sure you order what you need in one go as you can't place another order until the following (calendar?) year. | Renegade (16270) | ||
| 1309650 | 2012-10-30 05:42:00 | I'm stunned at the lack of buzz about this online, coz it looks blardy brilliant! If this pans out I no longer have to live in the same fear of a dead HDD or an outdated OS/Office suit causing us extended troubles, and eliminate the trap every few years of the latest file twist (eg docx vs doc) that befuddles the person dealing with the emails and attachments. Sweet! :clap |

| 1309651 | 2012-10-30 05:52:00 | Microsoft are right into Charities, so as long as the organization is a registered charity then you can get software dirt cheap. Just need to go through a place ( I use ingram Micro) Call them first, get a quote, then its fill out the paperwork and its all done. I've got a few places that qualify, and they get Microsoft software dirt cheap when ever they need it or upgrade to newer products. |
