Default Which Excel download should I get?

I heard of them once before several months ago and if I recall correctly, it
was from someone who wasn't a "satisfied customer".

Open Office could be a good solution - the price is certainly
right. For most general, every day uses it should be compatible
with native Excel files.

If those you exchange files with insist on you using Genuine MSFT
Excel, and if you are not needing a lot of features relating to
group collaboration or web publishing and such, then you do not
need the latest and greatest version.

Here is a page with pricing on Excel 2003,
http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_g...id=991285/sear
ch=Excel+2003 and reliable vendors on that page that I could vouch
for (having purchased from them in the past) would be:
AtomicPark.com,


Speaking of AtomicPark.

I just went to their web site for the first time

http://downloads.atomicpark.com/

to buy this program

TextAloud MP3

They instantly charged my bank account $25, transferred an old trial
version 1.479 of TextAloud MP3 to me, and then told me the
activation code is Not Available.

I have an eerie feeling they're going to send a hacked serial number
to me for their next act.

Some keywords come to mind:
crook shyster sham scam ripoff artist illegal illegitimate software
pirate pirated software stolen warez sleazy

Maybe it's just sloppy business, but I seriously don't like being
jacked around by online merchants.








BuyCheapSoftware.com, Amazon.com, TechOnWeb.com,
TheNerds.net, Mwave.com, TigerDirect.com, and of course the "big names"
like
Office Depot, Staples, CDW, Dell, etc.

Excel XP (2002) is available for $139 from AtomicPark:

AtomicPark.com also has Excel 2000 (which should do just fine for you)
for
$119:
