    I used AirSet cloud computing in the past with the staffs of Schools #65 and #95. The primary reason was to create a shared calendar. It worked really well in both locations mostly because they were only asked to use the calendar feature. More advance/adventurous users took advantage of the other apps including text messaging, file storage and sharing, committee to do lists, and iCal integration. It has changed quite a bit since then.
