[Phys-L] Re: Excel substitute

We use 602 for all our students.  Community College students are usually
less affluent than HS students.

Here is the link to the comparison page.  I have not found anything that
works better and the price is marvelous.  We were able to get the college to
buy a "site" license so we could legally have our students down load the
program. Let me know if you need more details on how we arranged that.

I put the URL in >< because some email systems rip out URLs unless you
disguise them.

Enjoy, Let us know what you decide.
