<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 7922062, member: 100459&quot;]I am a CPA (I&#039;m retired now.) and I have been using some type of spreadsheet program since my first computer, the Osborne I.&nbsp; It looked like a sewing maching when it is folded up.&nbsp; It had a monochrome screen about 5&quot; x 5&quot; (maybe a little larger), one 180KB floppy disc drive, and no hard drive.&nbsp; We used a software package for a spreadsheet named Supercalc.&nbsp; Later, when we actually got a computer-like, it had a full size screen but was still had a monochrome, and a floppy 8&quot;x8&quot; (maybe different measurements. it was 1983.) disc drive.&nbsp; I took classes on the computer and I continued to upgrade it.&nbsp; Eventually, I had a color monitor, 2 flippy drives and a 10mg hard drive.&nbsp; I used a spreadsheet program named Lotus.&nbsp; It wasn&#039;t too much later that we got larger and faster hard drives and disk drives.&nbsp; They were no longer floppy.&nbsp; I was working for the state and they were coninually upgrading computers and software. Eventually, all desks had Compaq computers and the Microsoft package which included Word, Access, and finally Excel.&nbsp; Our computers and software packages were continually upgrading the Microsoft software.&nbsp; Currently, I have Microsoft 365.&nbsp; The only thing I don&#039;t like is that I have to pay licensing fees each year, where previously, when we bought Microsoft Office, upgrading was at our discretion.</p><p>Anyway, Excel is stronger and faster than it ever was.&nbsp; There are some changes that users will have to learn, but I have been using Excel longer than many of you have been on the Earth.&nbsp; It&#039;s the process of keeping up with the upgrades that makes Excel difficult.</p><p>I don&#039;t have as many coins most of you have, so it&#039;s not has hard for me to keep up with what I have.</p><p>Best of Luck.&nbsp; Buy and Use what you find easier and the most complete for your use.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
