    Unless HS and undergrad college chemistry changed radically since I took 
it within the past 17 years, you don't _need_ a spreadsheet to do "awesome 
graphs"...our _college_ labs tended to require simple calculations to 
determine the percentage efficiency of some synthesis, or analyzing a 
titration.
