Hi,

Just received my link to try Google Spreadsheets out.  Performance is
very slow under FireFox on my laptop under Linux but much better under
Windows.  I'll have to investigate either way.  Like Gmail though
there is a perceptible delay in everything you do - which feels a bit
odd in a spreadsheet application.

The "multiplayer spreadsheets" thing is quite fun - if you open two
browser windows you can make a change in one and see it appear a
second later in the other.  The XLS import worked surprisingly well on
the small selection I through at it - would be nice to see ODF support
though.



Regards,
Robert.
