I thought how one wouldn't want to walk around in a store looking at your phone, tapping on it, just to understand the prices around you. Then, I remembered that that's exactly what the kids do nowadays anyway.. :-// --- End quote --- "Smartphone smartphone in my hand, who is nicest in the land?!" ::) |

Open/LibreOffice Calc is a lot better --- End quote --- YESSS :-+ (but go for LibreOffice) --- End quote --- Except Excel has one BIG advantage over other spreadheet programs. In Excel you can plot a graph and get it to assign a nth order equation to it. This is very useful when you want to make an equation to programmatically derive the temperature from a table published by a thermistor vendor. The equation in an embedded micro can sometimes be better and more accurate than using a lookup table. Using an equation works fabulously with Labview or C/C++/C# on a PC. I know you can also use Matlab to get an equation. Try and do that with OpenOffice or LibreOffice Calc! |

I probably lack the necessary awareness to be lured onto the MS agenda. :D (Edit: ... and I'm a MCSE, a couple of years ago) |
