Google Spreadsheets

One thing I have had holding me back in the realm of Mac as a full-on workstation is Spreadsheets, I use spreadsheets from everything from budgets, quotes, server management, etc. etc. Well Google spreadsheets is quite simply perfect. Granted I can’t “print” yet, as my printers are not “Mac Friendly” yet (R340 fund is now open, send money!) - but its awesome, had to run some numbers this morning, hit the bookmark in Firefox, and whammo, started laying out formuals, and such - works wonderful.

It also exports to XLS so on my Treo I can easily open, edit more - and take with me on the go, granted I’d love the system to have a “Mail XLS File” so I could email my phone (yes my phone has its own email addy) and have it with me vs. sync’ing - so I requested it as a feature, but for a limited “test” it’s very nice, good features, good speed, and good rendering. Enjoying it very much!
