PowerPoint 2000 or 2003 donations

I am a teacher. I have 15 Windows 98 computers.

I have Office business which doesn't come with PowerPoint.

I am wondering if there are people out there that might have old licenses
that they would be willing to donate. Licenses that they didn't upgrade from
and that they are no longer using. I am looking for PowerPoint 200 or 2003.

I know that a lot of people are moving to Vista and are choosing to start
over. I am hoping that there are some old Office 2000 or 2003 licenses that
are no longer in use that you might be willing to donate.

I know that this isn't really an office question. I am just hoping that
some people will be willing to help.

I have looked up grants, etc. and I haven't come across one for this yet.

There is no such thing as Powerpoint 200. Powerpoint 2003 will not run
on Windows 98. Powerpoint 2002 (available as a standalone product or as
part of all Office XP editions except Office XP Small Business Edition)
and earlier versions will run on Windows 98.

Plus, many people who now have Office 2007 may have upgraded it, and need to
keep their original disk(s).

Thanks. Working on all angles. The reality is that public education doesn't
work that way.. it woudl mean raising taxes.

Teachers should not have to mooch "donations" for the tools they need to
teach. (Not a slam at you, believe me.) Perhaps they need to think about
things like this before they dump thousands into sports programs.

If you downloaded the proper version of Open Office (either 2.3 or 1.1
depending on memory on your computers) you would be able to install that
suite of programs on each computer for free. All of the programs have a
fairly good look and feel with the MS Office equivalents and will save the
files in the various formats of the MS Office programs.
