@Enema_Cowboy @theregister Um. Discussed at length in the article. You *did* read it before commenting, didn't you?

I worked for a community college in St. Louis, MO, and was handed Excel to do some work for the Math dept. I'd been using VisiCalc and dove into it. One of the professors called me names because of my dexterity. 😂
