If you haven't noticed or tried the newest version of Google Spreadsheets, it's definitely worth the switch. To switch, just look to the upper right corner when in a spreadsheet and click on "New version". With the new version, you'll find a new and improved user interface, faster loading and processing, better data entry functions, and more. It's nice to see Google slowly but surely keep improving Google Docs to be more Office-like. As it stands, the vast majority of users will be able to get by with only using Google Docs, and not needing to ever use MS Office or something similar. With free, anywhere access like this, it will definitely make you think twice before laying down more of your cold hard cash to upgrade to the newest desktop office software. Especially for the basic user.
They also have a new "Drawing" app that lets you quickly and easily create diagrams, or add text and/or free hand drawings to an existing image.
