[Olpc-uk] Teacher Training Preparation - Saturday, 11 July 2009

Hello mate, another thing i;ve been wondering, how portable are the files
the OLPC creates, so for instance ,if you create a Doc on the OLPC, can you
open it in word?

Think this cross platform compatibilty is pretty important to teachers and
folks generally...

just a thought, see yer wednesday?
