Most common & most unusual forms of Excel abuse?

What? In Leeds?

I know Edinburger is a genteel place but some of those English northern towns, I don't know.

Mind you, if the laptop is heavy enough you could maybe use it to protect yourself.

But there's also the chance that someone might lose some data if you do.

I heard there were quite a few "laptop" bars in Leeds. Or did I mishear?

Oh, no! Now I have 334 posts!

Your still at 333 as Lounge posts don't count towards post count.

What? Then why am I wasting my time in here. I need to get out where it matters.

Dunno, I've never had the pleasure of a laptop and wheeling my desktop down to the laptop bar just might not be considered PC!

As a general rule I don't think they approve of anything that may or may not harbour a floppy.

There's nothing wrong with my floppy drive!!!

I put some 'ZIP' into my old floppy drive, but my system wasn't interested. Turned me down for a Flash USB drive...

I wouldn't touch Access with a ten foot pole!

I thought the categories were going to be Merging Cells and a few other no nos.

It's a pleasure to know that I'm not quite such a fruit loop about the advantages/value of Excel over almost everything else.

Although for those of us who are still pre 2007 the limitation on the number of rows can be an irritation, but mostly we have Access as a storage medium. I have occasionally resorted to data storage in text files using VBA to select the records I want and post into Excel.

It's just as well, I don't think you have one of those in your inventory.
