What about Keynote? Wouldn't that solve the Powerpoint problem? After all, OS X 10.2 is free to teachers and the only cost would be increasing RAM to around 512 MB (I really recommend this for OS X users). Something to consider, Bill. I use 10.2 on a 266 Powerbook G3. Works fine. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
