Excel substitute

I just came across a wonderful link at the Statistical Consultants group on Linkedin. I haven't tried yet but it´s definitely worth the shot. It is a free Excel substitute - you might say "useless", there are dozens out there. The catch is - it seems to do the hard stuff very well, that is, it seems to overcome all the known problems Excel has regarding random number generation and statistical procedures.

The product is called Gnumeric, it is free and you can get it at:

A report with Excel´s problems is at:
