spreadsheet is opened.
This worries me! What if these "jokers" who added this into Calc also
have inserted other malicious software! Traps that gather sensitive
information! This is definitely not professional! Micrososft wouldn't
allow it! Sun should remove it! and check the whole suite for other
unwanted programs.
IIRC Microsoft products have contained easter eggs in the past. Never
seen one in a Sun product though. Unix is such fun anyway - who needs
easter eggs?
However, provided the easter eggs have been included by the developers
themselves at some stage rather than some external hacker then I would
not be too worried.
I tried rerunning it again and I got "oh no, not again!" displayed in
the cell each time. I interpret this as a bit of fun but can appreciate
that others will interpret it in other ways, such are the dangers of
communicating across cultures and languages. I must admit that I felt it
was unprofessional when I first ran it and I do agree that OOo would be
better without it.
Besides, it runs too slowly to be really enjoyable as a game.

Yes it's true:
James Knott to users on nov 15:
1. In Calc, enter =Game("StarWars") into any cell and get a playable
version of Space Invaders
2. In Calc, enter =Game(A1:C3;"TicTacToe") into cell A4 for a
playable version of the game
enjoy
