Just updated my SmartBoard software to version 10

Has some excellent extra features.
Also got a free trial of something called MarketPlace. I have 60 days and 60Mb of downloads free of charge apparently, and there are apparently 1 million resources here.
If you're quick, there will still be some free trials left.

Will let you know what that involves later.Also came across this site, with a FORUM for SMARTBOARD users.

It had a post by Quentin d'Souza, who works in Canada. We exchanged some e-mails following my SAGT Google Earth session a while back. This provided a little file which allows you to view the internet inside smart notebook. Nice work.

Came across Danny Nicholson's WHITEBOARD BLOG, which has some details on the updates and, the more I've read, a host of great ideas for Whiteboards, plus details of how you can get a free ANIMOTO download as part of their educator program.

Led me in turn to Jim Hollis' TEACHERS LOVE SMARTBOARDS blog over in the USA which has some useful posts.

This purpose built facility occupies the same space as eight football pitches, equivalent to the length of three London Eye’s stacked on top of each other." "The 46,450 square foot Marston Gate Distribution Centre was opened in November 2000 with over 300 people involved in its construction. The centre delivers orders placed at Amazon.co.uk to customers across the country and to more than 200 countries worldwide. In the Distribution Centre there are four different picking levels in the picking tower with
