I wonder if there is a mile-high club for podcasting? This episode was taped at 30,000 feet above the Microsoft campus. To celebrate our 500th episode, Bill makes a special offer for you today. Episode 600 has the details.
Transcript of the video:
Hey! Welcome back to the MrExcel netcast.
I'm Bill Jelen.
This is a pretty rough time, actually right above Redmond, Washington.
Right now at about 20,000 feet.
I think this is the second podcast, I've done on an airplane.
I just, I was kind of appropriate, I'm right above Microsoft.
This is a big day.
This is Pod 600.
This is our actually our 500th episode because we started with episode 101, cut flying back from Vancouver.
I was with Leo today we take four more episodes of call for help.
I'm also taping this ahead of time because of travel today is the day that apple announced the new iPod.
It was amazing the press conference started just as we were taping the first episode.
So, between Steve Gibson, Sean Carruthers and Leo.
They were all giving us the blow-by-blow at every break of exactly what had been announced.
It sounds fabulous the new iPod, larger screen.
Really looking forward to it.
Now, in honor of our 500th podcast.
The new book is coming out, Learn Excel 97 through Excel 2007 from MrExcel.
This is a larger book, 377 tips instead of 277 tips.
I made the announcement on the lab with Leo but that won't air until October.
So, I'm actually going to beat that with this announcement if you're watching this podcast, I want you to go to Pod600.html.
That's MrExcel.com.Pod600.html.
I'm going to give you the entire Ebook, all 900 pages in one.
Download for free.
My goal is to give away 5 million copies of this book.
I really believe that everyone using the book can save an hour a week and just imagine if we get 5 million copies out there, the productivity savings.
The last book, we gave away one chapter a week.
It was really kind of a hassle.
We're not doing that, just go directly to this web site.
You'll be the first to get the book, take the entire book and I really want you to tell your friends about this.
My goal is to get everyone using Excel now to have this book.
Now, I know that some of you will want to print copy of the book and yeah!
We'll print them will have them for sale.
But really my goal is that for every print copy we sell, there's a hundred people that get the Ebook and can actually use the tips.
The book has almost everything we've talked about in the first 500 episodes.
It's been updated for Excel 2007.
But I realized at this point that 94% of us are still using the same old Excel.
So, the book talks about how to do things in the old and new Excel.
So, pod 600.html, download the book please tell your friends.
I really appreciate all of your tips, suggestions, questions that made this podcast possible for 500 episodes and really helped the book along.
Thanks for stopping by, we'll see you next time for another netcast from MrExcel.
