I need to find as light as possible a spreadsheet that still works reasonably will for stable. I'll recall Thumper's daddy's advice, and not say anything at all about oleo and siag. Staroffice 5 in 16mb is out of the question, an gnumeric seems to want gnome, which suggest that it too will suck resources.
I really only need this for grades (so I need the elementary lookup functions), and to hold/sort data to dump for mail-merge. But it needs to play nicely with other applications on a 16mb system (And I'll leave aside the issue of issuing faculty 16mb P120's . . . :) -- These opinions will not be those of UNI until it pays my retainer.
