I also don't have Excel and can't see the whole thing. It is a great idea to me; however, my crew and I just aren't good enough (yet) to worry about weight too much. When I fill the ballast on my SX its about as much as my kids dare ride. Cudos to you for making it. Someday I hope we're good enough to utilize it.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Never really thought there was a PC in the northern hemisphere without Excel and PowerPoint and Word. Might be able to experiment with turning it into an on-line format. If I knew anything about Java or Visual Basic or other programming laguages, this thing'd be a no-brainer.

Most web stuff is based on Linux freeware, no MS here! There is freeware Linux SW that emulates Excel, I haven't used it but it is good stuff and the price is right.
