Personally I find Tables to be a bit better than Openoffice, though OO is certainly catching up in the spreadsheet--it's the one area they seem to actually be working on for accessibility. Their accessibility is pretty even actually, I find Tables to be more stable and quite a bit more responsive however which is why I prefer it.

I can't afford to pay $40 though for software that comes free on the mac and isn't accessible (ie. Mac provides spreadsheet software - Numbers - that isn't all that accessible, and I can't afford to add Tables for $40)...does anyone know how one can get an equally accessible spreadsheet software for free? That was wordy. Sorry.
