Now we can edit each other's work in real time rather than attempt to meet to complete the project. Many thanks!

  2. El,

    It's sounds like you are enjoying this course and what a relief that you won't have to hire your students for life to help you with spreadsheets!

    Taking this class with you and our fellow Geckoks makes it so much more enjoyable for me :)
