      Need to review because Rita suggested it.
  • Enso lets you do common computing tasks easier and faster than ever before. You get a huge productivity boost and a simpler digital life.
  • Enso is dead simple to use. You just hold down the Caps Lock key and type an Enso command, which is displayed in a translucent overlay. Once the command is typed, you simply release the Caps Lock key to activate it, and the overlay disappears. If you type fast, it all happens in a flash. For instance, to launch the Firefox Web browser, you just hold down the Caps Lock key and type "open firefox." To look up the meaning of the word "proclivity," you just hold down the Caps Lock key and type "define proclivity."

  • IF we can work together, restrictions placed on all the students can be lightened. The crass actions of the few should not (but sadly do) hinder those of us who know how to behave. By this age, we should all know right from wrong. Myspace shouldn't have to be blocked; it should just be common knowledge that visiting your personal blog during your educational time period is not right.
  • IF you have to wonder if the site you want to use it appropriate, it probably isn't. But you do have teachers and administrators to view and help you make that judgement.
