Google Docs

I enjoyed messing around with the Google and Zoho docs...I worked with the Zoho stuff previously. I do a lot of spreadsheets to keep data and found the Google spreadsheet okay to work with (after I figured out how it was set up). I did a spreadsheet for a loan I made to a friend....once I found the "fill" commands" I was satisfied with how it worked.
You'll have to take my word for it as I can't figure out how to open it to share with others (but it worked just like an excel spreadsheet in office).

I can see how the on-line docs would save a LOT of space on our hard drives and make it easier to keep up with all the changes - i.e., I wouldn't have to bug Charles to update my Microsoft office stuff : ) As with anything new, I would take a while to teach this old dog new tricks but I'd sure be willing to try as long as everything saved as easily and I could get to it as easily as I do now.

Hey Peg,
I tried to view your url, but I do not have permission to enter. You will need to open it up to be able to be viewed by others. I am really enjoying this course, and hope I will be able to use some of it in class this coming year. Beth and Ryan are such great teachers!

Thanks for the info Kerry...I can't figure out how to do the permission thing so I hope you'll take my word for it that I did it.
