Everyone is raving about Aleo's spreadsheet, but I don't know anything about Excel. I'm wondering what the best way to get Excel capability is.
I went to Newegg's site to check prices etc. and notice Excel goes for over 200 bucks as a standalone, and if you get it with MS Office, you're going well over 300 bucks. Honestly, I'm hesitant to spend 300 bucks on a spreadsheet when I haven't even earned 300 bucks in SNG's. I also noticed it was 2003 this and that for the software packages -- Excel 2003 etc. Yet we're well into 2005 already.
I'm all the more hesitant to spend $200 plus if I'm getting something Microsoft is going to upgrade in a couple months; I mean I don't want to have to pay a hundred dollar upgrade fee right after I buy a new program, ya know.
Anyway, does anyone think I should wait a while before purchasing? I'm wondering where the hell Excel 2004 or 2005 is, and feeling weird about pumping hundreds of bucks into a soon to be outdated version.
