At the moment not too much info is on the apps the kids are using, just
their projects, many of which are Internet related. Check out this URL for
an example:

True but it is much easier for the busy admin to simply save a copy of the
document over to the Web directory (yes, we use Samba!) than it is to
convert it. Some of the documents are actually forms and this would get
lost in the conversion. Besides, like I mentioned we all use MSWord 97
internally so it is a standard.

reference to the fact that you were in the educational software field?
