A tip when using laptops and SOS when you are installing the cirriculum chose the option that puts the entire disk on the hard drive. That way a cd failure will not put you out of the school bus. The laptop drives seem to be sensative and kids can be rough on disks.
THANKS!! I appreciate that -- it's what I had done and you confirmed my choice as correct. I was worried about the drives, as well as the discs -- I have 2 more kids coming up and I didn't want them to get scratches and stuff! :o)
