Thing 10

Thing 9

The basic features are very similar to the popular ones (e.g. MS Office). It is a good alternative because it is free, but it will work fine only if you have internet access and with a Google account. I used the Mac in the AS office on the Thing 9 assignment, unfortunately I found that the Spreadsheet version of Google Docs does not yet support Safari. Document and Presentation worked fine on Safari. Google Docs works fine with IE and Firefox as I switched back to a PC. The one that stood out to me is the Documentation version, since that is what I will most likely utilize. I really like the feature that when you email the file as an attachment, it gives you the options to attach in different formats (i.e. Word, rtf, pdf, odt), this feasibility is great.
