DeltaGraph is cross-system compatible between Windows and Mac, and the most flexible/powerful paid program that I know of for Mac (http://www.redrocksw.com/index.php/introducing-deltagraph-6.html). Given it's flexibility and power, I'm surprised more people don't use it. Especially since it's

Hello Ecologgers - Does anyone have recommendations for alternatives to Excel for graphing and/or spreadsheet applications in undergraduate labs? I have finally decided that Excel's graphing is so nonintuitive that it is not worth the waste of time to teach in an undergraduate lab.

Of course, I expect that you'll get 99 emails telling you the virtues of R (!), so I won't bother being the 100th (though I could). That said, one program that seems fairly good is DataGraph (http://www.visualdatatools.com/DataGraph/), and it's not too pricey. I've also tried Abel

For Mac's, if you don't want to learn R, DeltaGraph (by Red Rock Software) is a good option. They just released a new version (6) which I haven't used, but I've used version 5 and older. It will do most of what you need, without the steep learning curve of R. Much of the data organization
