Spend the money and get Microsoft Word 3.01 and SuperPaint.
Word is not perfect (:-)) but has everything that he'll need to write
papers over his college career (except the ideas). It includes a spelling
checker that will catch most mispellings of longer common words.
There are also enough users of Word that he can readily find sympathy,
answers to his "how do I ..." questions, and books written for a third
grade (or MBA) mentality on everthing that humans can do with Word.
SuperPaint costs $59 at most discount outlets and is worth the $$.
