Hi Josh, Thanks for your reply. If you do have an opportunity to explore Numbers soon, please pass on your observations.

What accessibility issues it has are minor, and its usability is extremely impressive. Numbers, the spreadsheet app, is trickier, and I haven't delved deeply enough into it yet to make a decisive analysis. However, based on my initial observations, I'd say that it is at least as good as the spreadsheet app in the OpenOffice.org suite, and probably better. It does require a steeper learning curve though, I believe. Hope this helps.
