HI,
Do you want to get Lotus Symphony or software like it? Lotus Symphony itself is a productivity software suite. It has a word processor, a spread sheet application and slide show presentation software. And it’s free. It is based on open document format so inter-operable with Microsoft office, OpenOffice.org and may other productivity software. You can download it from http://symphony.lotus.com/software/lotus/symphony/home.nsf/home
But if you want to use other, more complete suite then there are many alternatives. The alternatives can be divided into 2 groups.
1. Offline, needs to be installed in your computer.
2. Online, cloud computing based. No need to install in your computer.
An offline productivity software suite is great in look and feel and creates great looking documents. And you don’t need an internet connection for it. But they lack collaboration features like sharing in a group. The choices are Microsoft Works, LibreOffice, SoftMaker Office, etc. You can download from their respective website. Microsoft Works and LibreOffice is free. SoftMaker is below $100 for 3-4 people in home.
An online productivity software suite is not that great in creating a dazzling document. But has a very important advantage – collaboration features. You can store any document in the web and share it among group. Edit them and keep track of changes made into the document. So you need an internet connection, always, to create, edit or delete your document. The choices are Google Docs, Zoho, etc. They have both free and fee versions. In general free version gives restricted access to collaboration features and less amount of storage space in their servers. The paid version charges very little per user and gives you full access to all the features.
Regarding you second question, IBM has hardware in all kind of price range. And now a days every hardware manufacturer has to compete in the market. So their price is reasonable. The price really depends on the end application that runs on the hardware. Based on the application requirements you have to select the hardware. According to that the price of the hardware varies. The good thing is IBM have simple server within $1000 to very costly servers. So you will always find the right hardware in the right price.
