[McDonald, Debra A1]

Do you still need a hand getting onto the software. I have had it at our school for now over 18 months, have some connections if you need a way in.

Sorry for the late response.  Have only just seen the message:

It's quite simple.  That information is inaccurate.  There was no difficulty
at all, it wasn't a case of 'getting around' it or having to twist someone's
arm.  When I looked into it I did see information about the Academic
Alliance that was USA-centric or gave the impression that it was available
only for tertiary institutions.  My impression is that what started with a
small range has been expanded.  I heard of the possibility of purchasing
software through the MSDNAA either at a VITTA conference or at a Microsoft
"Roadshow", or possibly both. At any rate, it is available to Australian
schools, including ones like my own that aren't in the government sector.
