	[Derisory remarks about spreadsheets omitted]

Spreadsheet packages are astonishingly versatile. I had a need to
do some low-powered stats & graphing once - the exercise was aborted
not because of the lack of functionality in the package but because
of its inability to handle large data sets. Quattro on a PC
only supports 8k rows. I think it is this factor more than anything else
which inhibits the use of spreadsheets for statistical work.
