At the beginning of the year I switched from pc to mac and thought it would be great but the programs are so slow and I constantly get the spinning beach ball of death if I try to go faster than the computer.

Sounds like a systemwide problem, not specific to Numbers. You might recieve more responses if you post it in the appropriate hardware or OS X forum
Are you getting this behavior only with Numbers as your title claims or with other apps as the plural used in your message let think ?

Sorry- Yes- it does seem to do it with Pages as well. I just happened to be working in Numbers when I decided to try and find out the issue. I'm a new Mac user that was using a 3 year old Dell so I expected it to be at least as fast as my pc, and actually better. This is how it has been from day one though of using my Mac.
If you get the behavior only with iWork applications, you are just facing a problem described here many times.
These apps suffer of what I named a 'design flaw'.
We just may hope that the next major evolution will get rid of that.

Ok, thank you. Do the microsoft office programs that I'm used to work better on the Mac than these iWork apps?
I don't know because for years M…oSoft products aren't allowed to enter my machines.

Numbers can't even keep up with me typing.
