Press Release Summary = Affordable Estimating Software & Support

Press Release Body = Artisan`s Estimating, an office suite software development and
support company located in West Chester Pennsylvania has eliminated its annual paid
subscription fee.

Artisan`s Estimating (AE) main product is a feature driven multi-page spreadsheet
workbook that combines easy to use modules, user defined assemblies and user
editable data, to create a professional yet easy to understand estimate in a matter
of minutes.

Unlike other estimating packages that use expensive stand alone software, Artisan`s
can now use the freely distributed office suite software package from Sun
Microsystems® called OpenOffice.org 2.0.

OpenOffice.org is a fully-featured open-source office productivity suite available
as a free download for major platforms in over 45 supported languages. It is
compatible with competing office suites. OpenOffice.org is developed, supported, and
promoted by an international community operating from the http://www.openoffice.org/
website. Beginning with the upcoming 2.0 release, OpenOffice.org will store data in
the open XML file format adopted by the international standards body OASIS.

We can now afford to provide the free software development and support through the
use of advertising and sponsorship revenues, says artisans-estimating.com Founder &
CEO Michael J. Tobin.
