I've just realised that now I have a decent monitor, I can actually have two documents side by side on the screen, with readable text and enough of it in the window not to have to scroll down after every paragraph. This makes grading different versions of student papers so much easier - I don't have to keep switching windows to see what they've done with my comments and corrections.

Yes, that's Zhang Ziyi peeping out from between the essays on epistemology and The Matrix.

unfortunately, i program 600+ line monte carlo simulations. And what i've seen-though its been six months so i should look again-in the spreadsheets for linux just dont support looping, logic functions and finance functions sufficiently to be of use. :(

i wish i could record macros...

Have you checked out gnumeric (http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnumeric/)? Last i checked, it had a lot of functions (http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnumeric/functions.shtml).
