Can Libre Office even open Excel files that make use of them?

I have had no problems with LibreOffice opening Excel files or even saving files into older Excel file formats for coworkers using the older Office software. I actually use LibreOffice spreadsheets on a fairly regular basis and I find it handles data, especially database Datetime columns, far better than Excel does. I have columns that Excel refuses to format to anything other than what Excel deems it to be. LO just does what I tell it and off we go.

Here are a few more to check out. RATT -- Morning After. The Cascading triplets at the end have always gotten to me DLR -- Shy Boy. Billy Sheehan and Steve Vai really tear this one up. Winger -- Seventeen. The outro by Reb Beach has some serious flash. Ozzy -- Crazy Train. The late great Randy Rhodes blisters eardrums here. Dokken -- Mr. Scary. More of an instrumental than strictly a solo, but with more than 20 guitar tracks there is more than enough to satisfy. Jimmy Hendrix -- pick one. Van Halen -- again, pick one. To the guy who said that Joe Satriani lacks emotion in his play. Dead wrong. That man has great emotion in addition to his technical skill. The reason he's not more mainstream is that nearly all of his songs are instrumentals and that doesn't fit well into the record industry's formula for making them money. They want lyrics so they can market the music easier. Witness American Idol.

The Beatles? You're kidding right? On the Monkey Scale (TM) if Apple Inc. is the 400lbs silverback, then Cisco is King Kong and Apple Records is Tarzan's chimp Cheetah! :-D The iPhone BRAND belongs to Cisco, if Apple Inc. wants to use it, they need to play nice with Cisco. The two will likely settle, but right now its just lawyers waving their junk around getting things all wet.

Vai, Satch, Yngwie and EVH are top of my list. Virtuoso guitars stimulate my programming centers. Just found a metal band called Dragonforce that I am into right now Big into creating my own stations on Pandora.com for this.

Not to be confused with Shwag, which is the crap you get at a conference. :)

Can someone explain to me why the last second goal the Aussies made was waved off? I watched the ball fall into the net and I saw the ref wave off and then card the hell out of the Croatian player, but the broadcasters were more concerned with the cards then reporting why the goal was not counted?
