	There is no accounting for taste, or the lack thereof.

	I have *never* found tables to be a pain in the anywhere,
	in LaTeX.  Page 64 of Lamport's book makes everything crystal
	clear.  Whereas I wouldn't touch Excel with a sterilised
	barge pole.  For anything.

	Fortunately freedom of choice prevails; except insofar as
	the MicroSoft monopoly forces the rest of us to use the MS
	junk ``because everybody else does''.

		cheers,
