    RE last RT, have heard most Apple employees use Excel and import to Numbers when delivering to execs, most of whom use iPads. #scuttlebutt

        @monkbent wouldn’t it be delusional if upper management expect 100% use of Numbers

        @CSZhang does my wanting to read on an iPad suggest I believe all writers should write on one? Not Apple's fault no Excel for iPad

        @monkbent well Numbers on iOS can read excel files. Going thru extra unnecessary loop. Although emp can clean out font or other issue 1st

        @monkbent have you played with Numbers lately? For moderate (but not heavy) use it's better than excel in a lot of ways.

        @abe1x still completely unsuitable for business/modeling. Which Apple knows and is fine with. Not the audience.

        @monkbent I don't do hardcore business modeling, but do use it rather extensively for a light version of just that

        @monkbent killer feature is easily updating sheets from the phone before getting out of bed... Past that quite capable, but under documented

        @monkbent Yes, but they're all using Macs/iOS am sure. Similarly, haven't seen google presentations where everyone's using Chomebooks.

        @monkbent Sounds reasonable. You can;t really use Numbers for serious modeling.
