Everyone can have a complete office suite, including an Excel
(compatible) spreadsheet program. Just go here and download it:

http://www.openoffice.org

For those of you who don't know about this, it is a MS Office
work-alike/replacement that is available for Windows, GNU/Linux, BSD and
Apple Macintosh computers. In fact, since the source code is included, it
could be compiled for *any* computer platform you have the time and
talent to implement. It is a mature, stable office suite and works for
all my office tasks. :) It is GNU/Open Source, so there is NO CHARGE to
download or use it.

Because this is available, we can use a spreadsheet format to deliver
info, and not have to worry about excluding anyone.. :)
