Google Drive

Anyone else been using Google Drive? I've recently been playing with the spreadsheet function and find it easy enough to learn and customize. Here's a sample of something I whipped up in about 15 minutes of playing around with it.
Basically I just tried to copy a page full of my written testing notes. Then I deleted out all the numbers and made a template, which I can reuse to play fill in the blank or modify fields as needed. I really like the fact that I can have it with me on my smartphone wherever I go. I can now instantly use it on the range, or sitting in the dentist's office when a thought rolls into my head. Also has math functions to automatically take average velocities and such. The only thing missing when I use my phone, is that when I'm using/viewing with a computer I can add notes to each individual box. It's almost like an asterisk that you hold your mouse over and hidden text appears. I've also made up pages to keep inventory of firearms and ammo I have on hand. Would be pretty easy to make ballistic drop charts as well.
