Thing #19
I like the web-based apps. I created a wedding to-do checklist and shared it with my daughter. I also created part of a spreadsheet that I use to update local high school alum addresses for the annual banquet. At the present time I send a copy of the info to the alumni committee and they make changes and return to me. I'm going to work on a Google Doc for this purpose and see if it will simplify this task.
We have ordered 2 public-access computers at the library and I may suggest that patrons try the web-based apps instead of loading MS Office Suite. Very few patrons use anything except the word processor and it would relieve me of the task of updating the software (or purchasing a new version).

If you end up not installing Office and trying the Google Docs experiment please let me know how it went after a while. I'd love to hear what your results are.
