(OT) - freeware spreadsheet programs

Sun Microsystems used to offer a free StarOffice package that had spreadsheet, word proccesor, etc that was a decent replacment for MS office. I can't seem to find a way to download it anymore. It might have been a temorary thing they discontinued. They do appear to be selling StarOffice now.

Here's something that looks interesting. I can't vouch for it having nto tried it, but it's free.

PC Suite

www.openoffice.org is a complete Office package that is free (and open source). It is a great replacement for Microsoft Office. It has an equivalent to Word, Excel, Power Point, Access and Word Art or whatever that crappy MS Office "art" program is.

I'll second this one. Open Office is a great package, and I highly recommend it.
