- if you can get it outside the Caldera bundle, but I'm planning on
- looking in to it.
-
- Also, I think, there are some pretty good spreadsheets. Try looking
- in an issue of the Linux Journal. Many of the commercial advertizers
- can be found there.

- If you ever decide to try Linux, check out the debian distribution.

-
- I can vouch for Quicken 5 to some extent. It has been working fine
- for me in light usage.
