This is a great article, Robert. Thanks. My complaint (and as
always, I have one) is this. From the page: ...Canadian company
released Excel-esque software... It's not Excel-esque for goodness
sake! It's a spreadsheet. Marketing really changes the way people
think - people think that Advil means painkiller and now they think
Excel means spreadsheet. Grrr.
(And no, I don't hate MS over this. They are doing a great job
marketing their product, as always. Yes, I use Excel as my primary
spreadsheet.)
I do love the idea of using a spreadsheet for more stuff. I'm a
spreadsheet-aholic, my wife says. :)
