I ordered Quattro the same way for $75, and got it about a week and a half
later. I'm an MBA student, and had been using 1-2-3/Hal for case analysis -
everything from financial analysis to market research, econometrics, even
statistical process control charts. Quattro has been completely compatible
with all my 1-2-3 worksheets, has a much better user interface (pop-up menus),
draws better graphs, recalcs much faster, and in general is a very servicable
replacement/enhancement for 1-2-3 at a much better price. I recommend it. I
use it on my AT&T 6300+ under Simultask, and have had no problems whatsoever.

I've been using it for about a month, and it got me through the end of
the semester cases with flying colors (literally - the thing really lights
up a color display).
