From the book "Programmers at Work" (c 1985), Gates talked at length about some of his programming and design tasks. One that stays with me is the bit about how Excel implements Cut, Copy, Paste. He came up with some clever behavior to limit the amount of temporary memory needed.

Of course, 22 years later, that non-standard behavior is the bane of anyone using Excel. I know it causes me frustration every time I use Excel....


Switch to OpenOffice. Its free and works.
