The wonderful Numbers

I switched to a Mac in 2006 and have been extremely happy with the move. I only switched because my choice for a new PC was one with Vista, and Apple had just switched over to the Intel chips so I figured I could use Parallels or Boot Camp. But I never even put Windows on my Mac as the software selection was much better than I realized.

One of the best packages out there is iWork, and especially Numbers as you stated. Once I started using Numbers, I never went back to Excel. Being able to draw anything on the screen and resize and move it was a groundbreaking model, one that is not appreciated as much as it should be. Having said that, I have not used Numbers as MadaboutDana (thought it was MadaboutData at first glance) has indicated, but it does sound intriguing. I will have to play around with it a bit.

We just got the iPad 2 for my wife, and I guess I need to download the Numbers app right away. Quite a bargain in my opinion.

Apple is expected to update iWorks sometime soon, so hopefully we will get a plethora of new and exciting features.

Thanks for the great idea MadaboutDana. Much appreciated.
