Where can she inquire about that special "dirt cheap" pricing for students?

Have her delete all the MS Office crap. Open Office is a legitimate, free, open source replacement sponsored by Oracle (was Sun forever and ever, they just got bought by Oracle).
www.openoffice.org
She'll be able to open, edit, save, etc. etc. etc. any MS Office document (Word, Excel, Powerpoint).
