Thing #18 online productivity tools

Well, I think that there are some definite perks to the Google Docs. For starters, it is FREE and on my teacher's salary that is a real plus. Not to mention this is the death of thumb drives for keeping files since I can access my files from anywhere. Finally, it is a real plus to be able to share files with other "community" members - i.e. group members on school projects or coworkers for presentations or reports. The templates are also helpful to speed up the production process. While it does not offer as many fonts and such as Microsoft, I don't think that is a big enough flaw to merit me forking out the big bucks. So, for now this program gets my seal of approval.
