IMHO those useless modules are actually all I need for managing my accounts and for simple database tasks, like storing the dozens of software license codes that I get via email or at the back of manuals, etc. iWorks looks like work in progress - it seems like a strange combination and I'm sure the two modules will be added to in the future. For now, at least, AppleWorks is still on sale. I hope your last comment was tongue-in-cheek - as much as people like pointing out how good the educational discounts are for Office, etc., I cannot take advantage of these offers and so the Excel/Filemaker combination is pretty expensive.
