And I have just spent two days trying to get this f***ing Excel 97 (Win)
to run long enough to do some work. It keeps corrupting my files. It even
manages to corrupt them bad enough that I can't open them in Excel 98
(Mac), either. I think I have once again been "Gatesified"!

I can't get my job done either when this crap happens. I think I'll go to
lunch. Maybe I'll even come back.
