Re: computerdisc-l: textbooks-B site upgrades

[David Burns <dburns@tsixroads.com>]

We are just getting our new lab underway.  We proposed to the MDE for our lab
to purchase MS Office 2000 (which has a wonderful integrated package that
includes Power Point).  We are getting Gateway 4400's and they are really
powerful.  If there are any B sites that haven't sent in their proposal to the
state you might want to go that route.  Our business leaders here like Office
2000 and it appears to be the industry standard here. Office also meshes right
in with our high school lab, which goes into more advanced Office 2000
skills.  Our only problem here is the new keyboards are quite different from
the standard rectangular style (my only gripe).  The visiflex seels were very
benificial to my students learning their keyboarding skills, I don't think
they make a seel that will fit this MicroSoft board.  If anyone has an answer
to this problem please let me know.  I hope everyones school year is going
well.
