As a student in this day and age, most of my work is composed digitally. I rarely write essays with pen and paper and I even take class notes on my lap top computer. I also deal with a wide array of mixed file formats on a daily basis.

This is especially difficult when I am transferring files back-and-forth from Mac to PC for my school labs and study groups.
