[G4] Appleworks/MS Excel

[sr ferenczy]

just remember that you are not *technically* supposed to use the EDU 
version for commercial work. that being said, if you buy the EDU 
version now (or any version for that matter), you will also get a free 
upgrade to the next version of office. and the EDU version also gets 
you 3 licenses instead of just one (my wife and i just the edu version 
for our home computers)
