For those that do not know, Gnumeric is a spreadsheet program with the ability to include all sorts of neat bonobo objects, and also can create graphs through guppi, the Gnome graping program. Enjoy!" Update: 12/31 20:08 GMT by T : That's "graphing." Graping is for the stroke of twelve. Update: 12/31 21:01 GMT by T : Jody Goldberg writes "You folks posted the story a touch too quickly.

    MMM...wine... Maybe you meant, "whine?" If you want good spelling functionality in life you should lay off the wine and hit a dictionary. Listen to me whine!

    As you can see, gnumeric has made great progress. I highly reccomend it over KSpread to any self-respecting linux user.

    I use the Excel flight simulator on a daily basis. Do you know of a Linux spreadsheet with that functionality?
