Some of these web based apps look interesting for students heading to college this fall. I haven't time to try them on my Mac right now so if any of you would care to, post your results. PING

Thanks to Grey_Whiskers for the heads up...


Generic Web Based Apps that will probably work OK on a Mac Ping!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

Now if only they’d write a program for index cards for Mac. And also a program for writing business letters that don’t refuse to center your return address.
