	I have not used the newer version yet, but I am currently trying out 
version 1.6.3.  It seems to use less system resources and, I think, 
because it uses KDE libraries it takes up less hard drive space too.  I 
have not tried it out long enough to develop a full opinion yet and 
would like to see what other people think myself.

	The one thing I have noticed is a little thing that is annoying.  In 
every other spreadsheet I have ever used (even including on the Palm) 
there is always a button beside the A and above the one in the upper 
left corner of the sheet.  When you press this button it would do a 
select all.  For some reason Kspread does not have this and I can't find 
an easy way to select all.
