I'm sure Steve is much more knowledgeable in this area
but it seems at Glendale Community College they force
a lot of Microsoft products down your throat. I've
seen a few open source apps here and there at the high
tech center but I just assumed they were put there by
a student. I have an engineering class this semester
that is HIGHLY dependent on Excel. Not sure if this
helps you any but I thought I'd let you know.
