- I spent a half-hour or so playing with Procalc and, quite frankly,
- it did not look *that* bad. It was no Excell definately but it had
- a nice mouse oriented operation and seemed pretty intuitive. I have
- access also to some older versions of 1-2-3 and if ProCalc compared
- favorably with 123 2.0 I would find it adequate probably.
-
- The charts and plotting options seemed weak though. If I thought
- it was basically solid, I would probably buy it. I don't really
- need all the features of Excell. Of course not being a spreadsheet
- guru, I'm a little short on knowledge. Any spreadsheet gurus out
- there who have used Excell and ProCalc?
