[OPLINTECH] Experiences with TechSoup

[Eric Maynard]

I can personally vouch for what Mike and the others say about TS. We have
purchased many MS products from TS in the past.

You don't have to be a 501c3 for the majority of the MS stuff, but you will
want to check for a given product title as not all software vendors work
this way.

Good luck!
