It's Excel for me too. So easy to use, books on how to use it everywhere. One great thing about Excel is so many people have it so if you want you can easily take all of part of your info with you almost anywhere. By that I mean if you have all your info on Excel, download to a flash drive, something happens to your computer, almost any other computer with Office will have Excel and you can simply reinstate your info. If visiting someone you trust and they too have a computer, just bring your flash drive and poof, they can see all your info. And with so many people using Excel, you can easily ask many people how to do stuff. Hopefully your computer has Microsoft Office which should have Excel already. Why go out and buy a program for coins if you already have something.

Excel.
I use it so often for work that it is just second nature for me to put it there. Easy to sort, easy to modify.

Spreadsheet.  Excel if you have it, but there are free alternatives.

Seems like I'm the odd one out. I use a notebook. I feel weird doing some tasks on a computer when it can be done on paper.

If you use a spreadsheet, don't forget to password protect your files. If someone takes your computer, you hate to give them a complete list of your coins as well.

Quote: What are they? LibreOffice (it was previously called OpenOffice) - The good thing about this suite is that it can open and edit all Microsoft excel files ...

Man....WOW, thanks everyone! I do have excel so I might have to try that out. However, while doing some research I ran across a software program called "Exact Change". Anyone have any experience with this program and if so what are your thoughts?

Quote: it was previously called OpenOffice Yes and no. LibreOffice was started when Oracle took over the OpenOffice.org (and StarOffice) project (happened when they bought Sun Micro). The outside developers did not trust Oracle and their historically hostile attitude towards open source projects, so they split off to create LibreOffice. http://www.libreoffice.org/OpenOffice is still around, but now known as Apache OpenOffice. Oracle has since stepped away from it. http://www.openoffice.org/Feel free to try them both.
