Andy,
I don't think I have to defend myself in this situation. There are other
compelling reasons why this can't be done. This is the last comment I
intend to make on this subject.

I would think that if I had an urgent, important need for a device that
had certain capabilities, I would use my resources to acquire a device
that would meet that need rather than acquiring a device and hoping that
it would meet that need at some time in the future.

Hi,
We have become self employed and right now the funds are just not
available.

Dear Virgie,
I'm surprised your employer doesn't provide you with a PC, especially
if
sighted people have them.
Why not take your PC to work or work from your home?

: 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.

: Hi Sara,
: Thanks for understanding our need for Excel. We know that we can't
have

: 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.
