and you see.. cobol was know by what 100k people?

VB is the most popular language in the world-- for good reason. because
of spreadsheet dorks like you.

your problem harlan is that you just dont have any comprehension that
a) i can do any math you can but faster
b) im sick and tired of cutting and pasting the same formula 100 times
per day
c) it's less efficient to have 200 copies of the same formula
1) sheer storage
2) accuracy
3) development of these 'super-complex spreadsheets (gag)'

i just think that you guys are a bunch of ****ing idiots.

grow up and lose the training wheels.

START BUILDING _SOLUTIONS_ instead of building the same damn XLS week
in and week out
