I have a computer, but it's a desktop; I don't think my budget will ever extend to a laptop (not least because it would have to be Apple). I have Excel, and have used it occasionally. But setting up a spreadsheet to do that sort of thing would be quite beyond me.
And the other thing is, using a spreadsheet during a game would require my focused attention—and I want my focus on the interaction with the players. So I don't think I'd be the target market for a rules system that needs a spreadsheet.
