Can I use the Internet to work on the same document at home and at school? - Colm Cox, Stillorgan, Co Dublin

Yes. The simple solution is to store your material neither at home nor at school, but online. At Net Documents (www.netdocuments.com) you can sign up for free and use up to 10 MB of storage space on their server, which you can obviously access from anywhere.

This would also allow a group of classmates to work on the same documents from different places (though not at exactly the same time).

If you already have a web-based e-mail account (e.g. with Hotmail or ireland.com), another possibility is to send the document to your own e-mail address. When you next login it will be in your inbox.

And here are some other notes for your diary:
