I finally broke down and installed Excel 2007...

The ribbon isn't horrible but it'll take some getting used to. Kind of
reminds me of a video game.

I've been looking around for about a half hour and I still haven't found
conditional formatting

On my 17" CRT monitor @ 100% zoom I get a whopping 18 rows by 11.6 columns
work area!

I've already turned off formula autocomplete!

Some folks have complained about the contrast of selected cells - yeah, I
can see their point

I like the expandable formula bar - nice for those monster formulas

Here's something I don't understand...

If I want to close Excel I have to click the "X" twice? What's that all
about?

I can't wait to do some testing on calc times with formulas that use entire
columns as ranges!

I'm wondering if IFERROR makes a real difference with real long complex
formulas. My guess is that it isn't any better than a "crafted error trap"
although it would shorten some formulas considerably.
