Either a British Thornton AA010 comprehensive, or, if I want a spreadsheet, an HP95LX. |

Open/LibreOffice Calc is a lot better --- End quote --- You missed the point though. Excel has enough issues/bugs that its not reliable for any kind of serious work. YESSS :-+ (but go for LibreOffice) --- End quote --- Nah. All these altoffices, i dislike them very much. They put buttons and menus in the wrong places, so it takes ages to find them. Time is money, excel is cheap. Not to mention, I can log directly into a report with a 34465A in excel. By pressing buttons. Try doing this in any of the altoffices. Or any calculator. --- End quote --- |

I don't like them, but stuff simply works. |

News flash , it's not me, Libre Office is stupid. As in, by not being compatible with MS Office, none of the third party stuff works, I cannot exchange files with colleagues (working on files, collaborating) etc etc. Keysight has several great plugins where you can directly connect to instruments and automate them directly from MS Office... Etc, etc. If I lived in vacuum, and all I was doing was creating documents from the scratch and when done sending people PDFs of final documents Libre Office would be fine. But I don't. Therefore MS Office for me. |
