Why are you using a Microsoft product if that is how you feel?
It was a joke man.
Actually, I'm stuck with some Microsoft products until the last kid is out
of HS. There are at least three teachers a year that require all papers to
be also turned in as a Word file on a CD. No other format is allowed.
Actually, I keep wondering how Entourage got to be so useable.
Write a stern E-mail to the school board. Include such phrases as
"economics"; "forced purchases" [Word and CDs]; "discrimination";
"PDF"[free, universal, and uncopyable]; "resource waste", and so forth.
Also note that it's a waste of time, energy and resources (burning a CD)
for a tiny bit of info that could be easily e-mailed if the "teacher"
had a brain and a will to stop such waste and rigidity. I bet they have
to turn in a printed copy, too, no?
Aaaaaaccchhhhh!
