My favorite spreadsheet-related links...
Favorite "other" spreadsheet programs:
-
www.openoffice.org - is a very fine Microsoft Office
knock-off. The hook? It's open source and is therefore free. If
you don't want to pony up the $$$ to Microsoft, then download
and try Open Office first. I tried their spreadsheet program a
while back, and it worked just fine.
-
www.google.com - Google is now offering the next generation
of Office tools. Their Docs and Spreadsheets programs work over
the web and your files are actually stored on/at the Google
server farm. It's all free; you just have to register as a
Google guy. This stuff is new and raw, and not nearly as
polished as Excel or even Open Office. But, this is absolutely
the direction we're heading, right? You can also try this link:
spreadsheets.google.com
Some wonderful
Wikipedia "history of
spreadsheets" pages:
More:
-
www.singularity.com/ - one of my absolute favorite nerd
sites, click on resources for a long, fun list of current (and
absolutely amazing) research projects related to GnR...
genetics, nano-tech, robotics (AI/machine learning, really).
Also, I have Kurzweil's book, if you want to borrow it. 4
bill-stars!!!
work... yow, bill
