David talks about working on KWord. Part of KOffice is a spreadsheet. I've had to go to Windows so that I can use WordPerfect QuattroPro (It's not stable on Mandrake) because not one of the Linux Spreadsheets I have (StarOffice, Kspread, Gnumeric) can simultaneously split the screen and freeze titles! That is unbelievable! The very first significant spreadsheet that existed (Lotus123) could do that. Why would anyone design a spreadsheet without it??? If you're going to do anything significant you need that. Otherwise, use a calculator! What gripes me is that the Linux community didn't support the fabulous "wheel" of Corel instead of "re-inventing" a bunch of non-funcional substitues. There's no reason for me to buy any more Linux configurations until there's one with a decent spreadsheet.
