well, that'd be 'ol Bill G his own self. He was the major push for
stuffing BASIC into everything as a macro language.

At the time (pre-internet) it made sense.

That it continues to this day is absurd. No one I've ever known has made
use of Word macros. I just wish you could simply turn them off. I know
O2K lets you classify as high or low risk, but that means upgrading
200+ ^%^#$@% Office licenses _and_ performing 200+ ^^#%@$# Office
installs...
