I second this. Text sheets are ok, but klunky. I'd prefer to use something that adds up weights and other stuff. That drives me nuts.

Ok...I'm a huge fan of using spreadsheets for characters. They seem to be the best way to keep track of things. It makes calc-ing weights super easy. Current, current maximum AND POTENTIAL skill maximums are all really simple.
I should send you some stuff I already have.
I also volunteer to help you develop them! That's what lunch hours are for! This is literally entertainment for me. I'm very geeky when it comes to excel.
