Mac Users Identify Yourselves!

Buzz, check out the Made4Mac section of the Apple Site. Do a search in Software for "spreadsheets", you should find a few.

BTW, AppleWorks has a spreadsheet app included in the suite. However, Excel don't play nice with it.

Hope this helps.

If you've got OS X 10.3, I'm finding OpenOffice.org is working GREAT. I've switched my Excel spreadsheets over to their "Calc" application without missing a beat. It's a little ugly, but if you're using Microsoft Office, you're used to that, right?

I couldn't get OpenOffice.org working under 10.2 (though I know people who did), but under 10.3 it's working a treat.

I am Microsoft-free AND pirate-ware free! Everything on my machine that needs to be paid for is paid for -- and that's not very much money (maybe $400 all told). It's cool. It makes me happy.
 

I was hoping you wouldn't say OpenOffice. :) Just want to keep things Mac, if possible. Still, it's free, and I have no phear of Unix (it was my job for a while).

What about MarinerCalc? Anyone with experience with that app?
 


I'm slowly getting adjusted to the world of X Windows. The updates to the GIMP really helped smooth that out.

I just wish PCGen could get its Mac act together.

Haven't used MarinerCalc, sorry. And the Smultron link isn't working for me just now, drnuncheon. But I am a FIEND for a good text editor.

I've actually managed to turn some people in one of my game groups on to PCGen... but being mostly computer professionals, they can't help but point out its shortcomings. They still prefer it to eTools, though.

Me, I've just being using Word and TextEdit lately.
 


Hey, I was just impressed that 5.7.7 actually calculated all of the numbers on my character sheet correctly. That was probably a first. :)
 

I've tried PCGen, but nothing has so far worked better than my own Excel sheet.

On another note, has anyone seen a 'good' Palm version character sheet? I tried to use my excel sheet with Documents To Go, but it won't read some of the calculations, so it's useless. I found one or two characters sheets for Palm, but both were severely lacking.
 

Hey, have any of you tried NeoOffice? It's the Aquafied version of OpenOffice. It's still in development, but it looks great so far. The nice thing is that it's a standalone application that doesn't require X11 or anything. Much better for the novice user. You might give it a shot.
