Have to send my time card in via email in the form of a spread***

I have to fill out two web based thingy's, then fax a signed
hardcopy. Twenty-first Century, my a**.

-rw-r--r-- 1 cmo cmo 132608 2007-09-29 09:39 070928-071004.xls

The OpenOffice file is 20KB and MS XlS is 132KB ! Imagine how much drive space
is being wasted world-wide and Net bandwidth due to MS bloat! This singular file
size difference is more than a 6:1 ratio.

Looks like it's constant.
