Hi Andy,
I do have a computer at home but not at work. I need to enter the
information daily and there is quite a lot of it to be entered. I would
like not to have to do my work twice, meaning once at work and then again
have to enter it into the computer.
Before you tell me to buy a laptop the funds are not available to do that.

Virgie,
Are you saying that you do not have access to a PC? If you are in
business, I have a hard time believing that.

Hi Sara,
Thanks for understanding our need for Excel. We know that we can't have
everything we need all at once but if we do not ask we may never get
what we need. I am a vendor and Excel is what I need to keep my
inventory, to do my accounting some other things.

I think people just get confused and call spreadsheet programs Excel
because that is the most well-known spreadsheet program they are aware
of, just like the people who call every softdrink a coke whether it
really is a coke or not. No a full version of Excel wouldn't work, but
a spreadsheet program should be perfectly possible.
I also want to point out that a spreadsheet should not cause any problem
with the processor power and memory available on the MPower, and
possibly not on the classics either. Hey, there are actually
spreadsheets to run on cell phones that run the Simbian operating system
and they don't have the most powerful processors and they certainly
don't have a great deal of memory. I don't believe the spreadsheet
programs are usable with the screen readers for the phones, though.
Another point is that although CSV files can be imported to a database
as well as a spreadsheet, that doesn't make them equivalent. Outlook
can import and export your address list as a CSV file, but that doesn't
mean your address list is a spreadsheet. Yes, you could open that in
Excel, but it would still be your address list stuffed in to a
spreadsheet, not anything you would normally deal with in Excel. Only
being able to have a grid of fields like a spreadsheet and being able to
do calculations would do the jobs most people want to do when they ask
for spreadsheet functionallity. Having keybase capable of doing
calculations would be progress in that direction, and I would love that,
but it still wouldn't necessarily replace a spreadsheet application.
No, Humanware can't give us everything we wish for, and certainly not
all at once, but please try to understand the reasons for the requests.
