[LM_NET] HIT: TECH: Open Office

["Anthony C. Doyle" <tdoyle@MUHSD.K12.CA.US>]

Thanks to the many people who responded to my post (too many to thank
individually).

Many more people are using than I thought and only one person
experienced compatibility problems.  That problem occurred with Open
Office files written on PCs which could not be opened by MS Office
running on Macs.  The only other reported problem was one user having to
use the "open with" dialog when double clicking Open Office files.
Everyone else seems to really like the program.

I will install it on my laptop to get familiar with it and then burn
some CDs to circulate to students and staff.

The software can be downloaded for free (and freely redistributed) from:
