Often the free program is just as capable or more so but it feels harder to use at first because you can't pick a theme and have a lot of the work already done. Some of these might make good class projects or contests with the results donated back to become part of the package or accumulated somewhere for others to use. --- Les Mikesell <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:les@futuresource.com">les@futuresource.com</a> _______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:K12OSN@redhat.com">K12OSN@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> For more info see <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.k12os.org"><http://www.k12os.org></a> </pre> </blockquote> Hi Les, Great suggestion !!
