Re: [Re: [Gardening with Excel]]

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

StarOffice also handles Excel files just peachy and it's zero cost.
Plus, it works on systems that don't support Excel, such as my own.
(I got into Linux before I got back into gardening after 20+ years).
Oh, some Excel macros won't work, but those are mostly the ones you
don't want to see in email anyway if you're running Windows.

great, peppers don't get hot enough for a former Angeleno, and the
soil used to be copper mine tailings)

"It is not merely that I dislike, distrust and disbelieve anyone who 
seeks political office.  I would extend privacy rights even to 
politicians were it not for two countervailing circumstances.  First, 
they themselves violate privacy rights wholesale.  They regulate 
virtually everything that peaceful people can do behind closed doors, 
from taking drugs to having sex.  It is elitist hypocrisy for them to 
demand the privacy rights that they routinely deny to ordinary people.  
If a politician wishes me to respect his personal life, then he needs 
to respect mine."					Wendy McElroy
