	Looking For Excel-like Application Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I need a free application that allows me to make spreadsheets.

openoffice.org

It still sucks compared to MS Office but it's free and the spreadsheet is ok.

:cry: I hate it when Im downloading something and the time increases instead of decreasing. It quickly went from 6 hours to 13 hours.

As long as I can make a chart with the spreadsheet program Im good to go. Im going to use it to keep track of a workout routine, nothing too complicated.

and now its going to take 19 hours. WTF?

Find a server that's close to you? It's only 3am where you are now so a local source shouldn't be too busy.

Does two servers in the US, one in Germany, one in Russia, and one in Taiwan count as "local"?

Thanks for the info btw.

No problem, I think you can specify where you want to download from on the download page, but other than that, I'm as ignorant as a turd.

Kazaa, or something like that, and download an illegal iso of MS Office. Because I've never done anything of the sort...

I dont have money to buy it, and why bother obtaining something ilegaly when something free works just as well.

Friends don't let friends pirate Microsoft software.

Microsoft Office has an awful default interface. The paradigms are old and stale. OpenOffice isn't revolutionary, but it has some nice touches.

That interface has been around for at least a decade.

The adaptive toolbars might actually be worth something if the actions I pull up menus and secondary toolbars for were being added to them. They aren't.

What's the main problem with the default paradigms?

OpenOffice is noticably worse IMO. Borderline "terrible".

OOo is slow as hell, no kind of recovery mechanism if something dies (MS Word has saved my arse a number of times )... it's poorly thought out. About the only thing going for it feature wise is the PDF thing which is a nice touch.

Also it's free so if you can't afford MS Office it's not like there isn't an alternative, but it's a poor second in terms of quality. Is Office ~£80 better? Debateable... considering price they're pretty much even I suppose.
