[Year 12 IT Apps] [OT] Free software

Wed Oct 6 10:07:46 EST 2010

And Office 2010.

Our media teachers are looking forward to it. But we will still need to
edit them image, we manager to crash the netbooks when trying to run
photoshop CS3 on them!

But the new image will contain Adobe CS5!  That's the nifty bit; it will
save us thousands.

Not so great. 

Our experience is that the eduSTAR image is only good for Lenovo
laptops. Installing on other machines, notebook or desktop, has resulted
in configuration problems = unstable.

We continue to build our own images; I have yet to find a DEECD image
that is acceptable/stable/functional.

Doubt it will change. L

which says DEECD schools will be getting Adobe CS5 for free soon on the
Edustar Win7 version 3a image.

For no reason, my friend became a square, flat surface with four legs. I
rushed him to hospital. His condition is table.
