[off-topic] spreadsheet for MacOSX

[Stephen Barncard]

Appleworks should work fine in Rosetta.
It creates .xls and .doc files.

http://www.apple.com/appleworks/

available for $79

by the way, the REAL excel can be had for about $200 when not 
purchased in the suite.

>Now facing a problem - what software to install to get Spreadheet like Open
>Office Calc or MS Excell... Tried Open Office for Mac OSX (using OO on my
>Windows and Linux boxes). But it looks like it is underdeveloped on MacOSX -
>autofilter does not work correctly, problems with national fonts, very slow
>scrolling in Calc - table is redrawn several times until it gets scrolled to
>the right position.
>Could you please let me know what open source or proprietary spreadsheet
>software do you usually use on your Macintoshes ? Do not mention Microsoft,
>I already know this, now looking for cheaper alternatives. Thanks for any
>advice!

>All the best,
