Hi,

I currently have Excel 1.5, and am getting more than a little tired of memory
problems, and other gronks.  I don't want to upgrade to 2.2, because I've
heard it's quite slow on the 68000 machines (like mine), and I feel $99 is
outrageous.  So, I've decided to look at another spreadsheet, and MacCalc came
to mind.  Can anyone comment (good/bad) on this program, and Bravo
Technologies (it's publisher)?  I currently use Excel for the following
things:

- Simple spreadsheets, e.g., car loans, mortgage calculations.

- Simple database applications (like an address list).

Please send e-mail, I'll summarize if need be.  Other suggestions welcome,
too.  Good performance on 68000 machines and modest memory requirements are
important.

Thanks!
