Request for Question Clarification by mrbuzz-ga on 25 Oct 2002 22:09 PDT

Hi ninjanan-ga,

Are you looking for a free solution?  If not, how much are you willing
to pay for such a solution?

OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org) is a freely available office suite.
It includes a spreadsheet program.

I'm a beginner. what's it worth, without breaking the bank?

What it's worth will depend on the functions for which you will use
it. If you just need very basic spreadsheet/database functionality, a
freeware or shareware program might do nicely. If you are going to
have to do some serious crunching, analysis, report formatting, etc.,
you might be better off with a reasonably-priced package designed with
the required functionality designed. If you can post a Clarification
on how you will be using such a package, Researchers will be better
able to meet your needs.
