Not really. Just an anoying moring. I didn't really mean to take it out on 
anyone here, but when you flame the CoCo on a CoCo newsgroup, what do you 
expect?

Ok, maybe a little.

What can Excel do that Data Master and PhantomGraph can't?

The CoCo is a lot easier, isn't it?

Neither am I. But if the I have to wait for the CoCo, It's usualy disk access 
I'm waiting for, (I have a slow hard drive) I usualy do whatever else I need 
to do on the CoCo. It can multitask. But I usualy don't have to wait very long 
for it.

At what?

Can't argue with that.
