Lesson 17: Online Tools like G-Account Word Processing, etc.

This is a really interesting topic for me, Just set up my G-Account & G-mail, etc.
Several days later...explored my G-Account some more, brought in an image file, explored "more options," etc. It looks really good & useful; only thing I miss, though, is the graphics & drawing capability of WORD.

A quick note, reference, actually. Here's the link to USAToday book review re. Nicholas Carr's The Big Switch. http://www.usatoday.com/money/books/reviews/2008-02-24-big-switch_N.htm?POE=click-referg-switch_N.htm?POE=click-refer & here's a quote from the review:
"Carr is excited about where this is all going, although his optimism is tinged with restraint. With technological advances, he says, come setbacks, not to mention mismatches between the power of new tools and the knowledge of how best to use them.
Those looking to The Big Switch for advice on how to harness the power of the computing revolution will be disappointed. Carr's book is a glance at where computing has come from and where it could go in the future, with a warning about what the future can bring."
