Keith,

Although we don't have a VCE class this year, I still maintain an
interest by teaching lower classes. Also our other IT teacher (and
Sytem Manager) is currently getting the Year 10 class to develop a Web
Site for the Colege, so if you can send me a copy by email attachment
I would be grateful.

Regards,
 Max                            mailto:mduthie at ballaratchristiancollege.vic.edu.au
