:-) It will accept imports from Gnumeric files. Pretty cool. And
you can export to Gnumeric too. I tried making the same spreadsheet
using just their tools and it doesn't seem possible to do some of the
more complex graphing features. But if you upload a gnumeric
spreadsheet, it preserves most of those features. The ratio graph
didn't preserve its lines properly. Oh well. This is the one I tried
to make manually:

Its neat that it updates the spreadsheet in real time for the people
viewing it. And you can chat. Web OS here we come.
