Preparing to convince to shift to non-propriety documents formats

[Micha]

I wouldn't say Linux as it confused people (worked in university, don't think that it would work at school). But you can to with tablet (iPad/android). Those cost money to open word and still have a lot of issues if they do. PDF works but is not editable. Not sure if there is an editable solution though that is portable enough. Maybe Google docs, of it's not too geeky.
