The message I got was something along the lines of Internet
Exploiter and
MSOffice 2003 extension or something. Must only require the latter.
I have neither
on my firefox under linux. I don't care all that much, but I just
figured I'd point
out that it's not Internet friendly... only Microsoft-Internet friendly.

That's Bill Gates for you. :-) The pages were built (quite some time
ago) with MS FrontPage which embedded the Excel spreadsheets as a
modified web form of some sort that requires 'Office Web Components'
on the client computer. The idea is that you can plug numbers into the
spreadsheet interactively in the browser rather than having to download
a copy of the .xls file and opening it with Excel (which a suprising
number of people do not have on their computers).

I'll add the actual .xls files tonight when I get home, which you might
be able to use with OpenOffice on linux.

Jim Carter suggested elsewhere in the thread about using a 6 seat plane
with 2 seats removed/empty. Just so happens I have the Excel file -- not
the embedded Web Component version -- for our Lance available online.
This is the Turbo T tail with 6 seats in the club seating layout. So if
you want some real world 6 seat W&B figures to play with, go to the
following link and click on the 'N3000A weight and balance spreadsheet'.

I've got one of these for a Cherokee 180 I used to own as well. May have
one for a Cherokee 140 from a ways back. I'll see if I can find those
too and get them online for anyone interseted in playing with the
numbers for those aircraft.
