==================================

Thing 18:

Created the Zoho account. This was all pretty easy. Even installed the Zoho plugins for Microsoft Office. All worked well and had started formatting a document with headings and a table. Then I started getting "error on page" from IE. Grrr. Shut down everything and started again.

I've already used Google's Docs and Spreadsheets. I used one to document the printers we have within YPRL. While handy for sharing and collaboration, the functionality is far far short of what I expect and what I use regularly. Especially for spreadsheets. For example, there is only a limited subset of Excel commands available, no array formulae, and no charting ability. Good effort, but no cigar. I used the Publish as html feature to obtain the link under the word printers above. I do like the ability to publish to PDF and other formats.

Thing 19:

Selected HipCal from the list. Unfortunately, as a web based calendar, I wasn't impressed. Once again, I'd already had a play with Google's calendar.
