        Does anybody have experience with StarOffice, and in particular
StarOffice Calc?  I'm wondering how it compares to M$ Office & Excel. 
The only reason I use Word is for interoperability with most of the
business world.  But Excel is the first M$ product I've come across that
is actually a fine product and is reasonably easy to use.  

        Does Calc have the same features and ease-of-use?  Are Calc and Writer
files easily interchangeable with Excel and Word?  

        Looking for an alternative.  Thanks!
