Subject: [YAPA] Geometer's Sketchpad
Message-ID: <a06240803c3785f3d23e9@[192.168.123.137]>

I have a 100-license site CD for Geometer's Sketchpad that can be 
donated to a high school that can use it. It is Mac-based. I also 
have all the notebooks and such that accompany it. Does anyone know 
of a geometry teacher/staff that would use it? For those that are not 
familiar with it, it is a dynamic interactive program, sort of like 
Interactive Physics but for geometric figures.
