   I just updated my ski club schedule spreadsheet, and for the first time, I had to dumb down something in a Linux Application to that it would convert okay in Microsoft Office. 

   Open Office's date format allows something like "Sat 14/Feb 04" as a date.  Microsoft Excel cannot do the day of the week entry.  A little intelligence on Open Office's part would have rendered this as a regular date, minus the "Sat" part.  Oh well.

   Open Office is serious bloatware, but I am starting to like it.
