[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Spreadsheet wars.

bchs1b@jetson.uh.edu (09/06/90)

It's time to start the spreadsheet wars. I need to get a spreadsheet package
to use on a PC clone, I want versatility, good display of graphics, and
ease of use. It will be used infrequently and for very diverse purposes by
a number of different people in my lab. Cost no object because I can get
academic discount on almost all the packages.Could people, with experience
using a few different packages, comment on their preferred one. Most important
is ease of use to someone who won't use it often.
Things I am thinking of:
Quattro Pro
Excell
Planperfect (we use wordperfect)
Lotus (in one of its incarnations)
Supercalc
pencil and paper and a cheap $4 calculator

One vote for Quattro Pro from a long time user of Lotus and a one time
user of Visicalc, strictly as a person, mind you, not as a corporation.
