Re: Nice in concept but...

Think that's why the pic is a grass snake...python-in-excel concept is M365+grass snake in reality

Re: Blame the user not the tool

Yes, or you work in a big corporate with enough clout to refashion all your textual forms as Excel spreadsheets because that's the only tool you know how to use for easy layouts (why am I thinking of chimpanzees and sticks here?)...Word obviously not your cup of tea, PDF forms completely non grata...."ah excel" you go and you even password protect it. When the user offers to make it better (read usable), just say "Well, no one else has complained so no"....

Looking at you RR, you cockwombles.

Re: Honestly..

I think some do...I sold some unused surplus a few (4? 5?) years back to a guy who worked for a company that supplied nav data to some aircraft. Haven't flown since as I can't remember which plane type it was.

Locked down offices

Yep, although I have my now "furloughed" office computers folding on medium. I bet there's a lot out there that could be running.

Re: As always, the big problem with Excel...

Ah, even more "creatives" use Excel as a text template for all their memos, reports etc....in a well known big corporate..if it has numbers, then it's called a matrix, not spreadsheet.

Re: Economic boost of £1700 per worker?

Yet, our local BT/Openretch sales gang tell me that I have to move to VOIP "now". For "only" £11 a month more than present...over the same sh1tty Cu/Alu interconnects. When asked "what about about FTTP on this estate?" I got....."No chance"

Re: Flash, ActiveX, Office doc embedding/scripting - should already be DISABLED

Nah, Word has a section called "developer" and in it are a whole selection of activeX non-goodies. I regularly receive embedded MS docs from an evilcorp that thinks it is the ballon de chien at security... cockwombles.

"And the values the Lib Dem's supposedly hold, yet he's working for FB.... says everything you need to know about modern politics (or just politics?), regardless of colour."

Yeah I reckon the MPS are starting to look like 650 shades of beige.

Still he does have form for public apologies.

Re: "Peer-to-peer patch distribution over the LAN"

Hooo no, there are alu joints out there *looking at you BT*

Re: Oh well

I've just had their prices, yes it's 15 quid a month more expensive and we have to have the BT hub so they can firkle around with the kit on our side of the net.

Re: Acid?

Hydrofluoric Acid I think in this case, the electrolyte is the issue not the metal per se.

Re: you pay 7 bucks for a coffee?

And let's not forget the horde of desk squatters in big uk biz that use excel-as-word-form, excel-as-gannt-chart, excel-as-document/report. Get them to use the appropriate software package is nigh impossible now, let alone tell them to use libre writer.

end of term?

I'm with Nik, term started 11/04 and runs to July here.

Re: Another dot com manager is going to bite the bullet

Re: Interesting.
