Ahh, you don't run openoffice.org, then (either that, or you have the patience of a saint ;). Even on fairly beefy hardware OO.o takes more time to load than I like - which is why I generally stick to abiword and gnumeric when those evil Word and Excel documents come in... anything that I write myself will (most likely) be in either (some breed of) XHTML or LaTeX, or, now, ReStructured Text. Spreadsheets are mostly avoidable, that's what god gave us database servers and scripting languages for, right? :)
