Does it have a good macro capability and how many points can it crunch? You see, Excel 2010 can now handle easily 125,000 points, even a million.

open office is open and free and many of us use it indeed if you could take the time it is a bit of a learning curve but I would bet nearly everything can be achieved with open office and then some that can be achieved with MSOffice.

Trust me it is a crazy how far open office has came and there is actually people making plugins for the software in open office as well.

All around eventually it will be pointless to pay for MSOFFICE to me for my usage it already is!

Here is a fair unbiased comparison of features I believe this will help you:

Macros written in VBA for Excel do not work in Calc and macros written in StarBasic for Calc do not run on Excel. Re-writing of macros is required when moving spreadsheets between either application.

Some additional resources for writing Basic macros include:

Yeah, looks great but now that I'm hooked up on Excel I don't think it's worth to migrate, having other more important things to focus on. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the open source and I'd like to have everything open source. Unfortunately, they have us for the time being. Hope the day will come when we will free ourselves from all this dependence. Aren't we fighting, by doing OU research, exactly for such freedom, after all?

@Omnibus,

I did check one of my Mouser audio transformers. The transformer had its primary on the outside
of the former and was made of two different color hair-tin wires in parallel. The wire ends was
connected so that it was a winding described in you drawing a few posts back. The few turn
secondary was closest to the core. It was also made up of two (slightly thicker) wires in parallel
that also was connected as pr. your drawing. The core was enameled laminated soft Iron E and I
plates.
