An Italian version returns the follwing information:

Name: ANALYS32.XLL
Fullname: C:\Programmi\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\LIBRERIA\ANALYSIS\ANALYS32.XLL

Name: ATPVBAEN.XLA
Fullname: C:\Programmi\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\LIBRERIA\ANALYSIS\ATPVBAEN.XLA

The name of interest is
"Analysis ToolPak", not the file name

So, for example, it would return Tir.X as
the Italian name for the XIRR function.
Is that for Excel 97-2003?

Because of this thread, I went out to buy another computer a few hours ago,
so I could use Office 2007. Seems that the fates are against me.

Is this an omen?

For a very, very long time, I have needed a laptop computer.
Today, I found interesting stuff at the Lenovo web site, but was not looking
forward to spending time fiddling with the configurations available.

Then I recalled that Costco had a good deal on an HP notebook.
Checking at the Costco web site, none were available.

So I called the local warehouse and was told that they had 2 in stock.
So I got dressed and drove to the store.
When I got there I was told that there were still 2 in stock, lucky me!

So I hustled to the register and paid, only to find out that none were in
stock.

Was this an omen telling me to not buy what I cannot afford?

In any case, Costco gave me a raincheck.
Hmmm, and it was raining today!

What else can go wrong, go wrong!
