Corel shares fell C$0.08 to C$4.75 in Toronto trading From the story you posted---I did not know this stock had dropped so much. I remember it was in the 8 to 10 range. Lots of upside possible but maybe you are better with MS Works---as you can easily switch to Office once you are in a position to afford it. I started with Works and the transition was straightforward. Maybe a better option for cheap PC buyers because sooner or later they will be switching to Office.
