Goshen High School officials announced that the latest version of OpenEducationDisk is available to GHS students free of charge.
The disk includes 40 computer programs in the following topics: office and design, Internet browsing, art and graphics, multimedia, science and math, games and utilities
Featured on the disk is the Open Office.org office productivity suite.

Some of the other 40 programs included are:
