Hi Marcus and All, 

Out of principles I have been using Apple’s equivalents and also LibreOffice, 
the latter specially for my spreadsheets, ever since I became aware of the MS' 
cut-down version of Excel for Mac. It looks like Bill Gates’ method of running 
down Apple is still being used by MS! I am not missing much from branching away 
from their grips. 

Regards all, 

Philippe Chaperon

Excuse my ignorance but doesn’t Apple provide excellent equivalents of MS 
Office Pete?
