As far as I am concerned, Mr. Gates more than made up for Excel with
Windows. I still can't fix my Win2000 registry so I can properly install my
virus scan suite. It was probably McAfee's fault, but shame on MS for
making something that fragile. Excel, though, I use regularly, and with
pleasure.
Anyway, which came first - Excel or Lotus 123? Seems to me Lotus was out
first, and Microsoft stole their lunch...
