<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Are the BYOD’s touch screen or keypad? If they are touch screen, good luck. With keypads maybe the Libre/Open Office DB would work, a nice thing about it is that you can point it to a MySQL db on a server if
you have one set up. The not so nice thing about it is … where do I start? Documentation? Interface?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
