If your high schools are like many others, then they will have a Mac lab
(or a teacher who is a Mac user) which has a CD RW drive hooked up to a Mac
with a floppy disk drive. He/she can quickly make mirror images of the
floppies on a single CD for you (if you happen to be interested in using
the software) or anyone else who is interested in using this software and
has a "CD-only" Mac.
In fact there may be someone in your school who has this setup. CD RW
drives are not uncommon among Mac users with older Macs (they use them to
access software that is issued on CD's, to store their digital images and
large files on CD's, and to make backups of their hard drives). So ask the
Mac-users in your school about their setup if you are interested in the
software. Making mirror images of the installation disks on a CD or
transferring program/data-files to a CD(if it is as simple as that) is a
no-brainer.
Just a thought.
