Just as well. I wanted it for typing drills. David has enrolled At OTEN-DE TAFE NSW DE=Distance Education. His subjects are Keyboarding, Word processing, Accessing the Internet, Spreadsheets and Database. They are supposed to be using Microsoft word, Excel Explorer and Access with either Typequick or Mavis Beacon for Typing I have Mavis Beacon for Windows. David has found Ktouch much easy to use and a very good starting point for Keyboarding. He has also put in the floppies from the Tafe and found he can do everything on Linux bar Access mostly using OpenOffice.org You can google for OTEN But you don't have to be a resident of NSW and if you have a Pension Card or a Health Care Card (except LI{Low Income} You can do one free course a year if they offer it including Statement of Attainments to Diplomas for free plus a OTEN handling charge of about $40. which means it is cheaper than Victoria. All courses or close to have gone National now and of course they are all accredited. If you have a disability they have disability teacher/consultants who can assist you and even wrangle the Oten handling charge to disappear. I guess you need to be on a disability support Pension for that. They even take enrollments up to August. Something worth considering. I suppose if you have to use something like Access you can go to a Library or try and pick it up somewhere else.

Just as well. I wanted it for typing drills. David has enrolled At OTEN-DE TAFE NSW DE=Distance Education. His subjects are Keyboarding, Word processing, Accessing the Internet, Spreadsheets and Database. They are supposed to be using Microsoft word, Excel Explorer and Access with either Typequick or Mavis Beacon for Typing I have Mavis Beacon for Windows. David has found Ktouch much easy to use and a very good starting point for Keyboarding. He has also put in the floppies from the Tafe and found he can do everything on Linux bar Access mostly using OpenOffice.org You can google for OTEN But you don't have to be a resident of NSW and if you have a Pension Card or a Health Care Card (except LI{Low Income} You can do one free course a year if they offer it including Statement of Attainments to Diplomas for free plus a OTEN handling charge of about $40. which means it is cheaper than Victoria. All courses or close to have gone National now and of course they are all accredited. If you have a disability they have disability teacher/consultants who can assist you and even wrangle the Oten handling charge to disappear. I guess you need to be on a disability support Pension for that. They even take enrollments up to August. Something worth considering. I suppose if you have to use something like Access you can go to a Library or try and pick it up somewhere else. Unless anyone know of a Linux Program that runs MS Access Files Avery
