Google+Docs

=Google Docs=

Google docs ([]) offers //Word-like// document creation, //PowerPoint-like// presentations, and //Excel-like// spreadsheet. You can choose to create new documents or upload existing docs in several supported formats.

Here are some of the key points: 1. It is web-based so no more worries over lost/damaged flashdrives, crashing computers, or someone deleting your work from the school's network. 2. You can mark your favorite documents by starring them. 3. Each user can store up to 5,000 documents. 4. A document can be shared between two or more users.

The functions are very similar to Microsoft's Office program, so you will feel right at home in just a few minutes. Be aware, it does lack some of the Microsoft's bells and whistles.
