Does anyone know if you can download neooffice? so that you could do word
processing? spreadsheets? Power points? I would want to be able to do that so they
could be used within the classroom. I would move towards them since Apple seems
bent on pricing schools out of their market. We are an all Mac school and I was
quoted $1100 each for their basic laptop for a mobile lab.
