If anyone anywhere is using Excel, I think it is worth their while to try other spread sheet softwares. If you are making graphs which are even a tad bit more complex, please please please try MINITAB (version 14 is nice).

Havent used open office, but I am sure would be better than excel. oh, excel is clumsy. I think no one should get used to that bad quality.
In my case, it took me exactly 3 hours to do in MINITAB what was taking me MONTHSSSS in excel. you know why, because excel wouldn't expect that you could have multiple enteries for a single date!! I mean seriously, is that all that unexpcted!?!?
Oh the change was such a relief!! You know like trying to cut with a spoon and then getting a smooth knife.

oh but also, i guess the work you would be doing with it would be different. I was trying to work with a couple of thousand points.
