Sorry if this is a repeat, I am just getting use to the system.  Full Impact
does 3-D plots, it has been out for a while so early bugs should be fixed. 
Full Impact imports and exports EXCEL and 123 files.  According to the MAC
BIBLE WingZ does not import or export to anything.  I use EXCEL at work and
FULL IMPACT at home, Full Impact is much easier to use!!!  For instance it
allows using the arrow keys to edit your formulas, option arrow to move to a
new cell (or you can reverse these!)
