MS Excel runs perfectly on the LC and the IIsi, but you need to have
version 2.2a or newer (the "a" is crucial).  This is a free upgrade if you
have version 2.2, but you have to call Microsoft and ask for it.

Seriously, we've been running Excel here for months on several LCs and a IIsi,
with no problems.
