RE: Office gripe

["Lauren" <lt34 -at- csus -dot- edu>]

Maybe I should clarify something.  I remember when Quattro Pro was the first
and only spreadsheet to offer drilling.  It's a very common technology now,
but when it was new and companies had to decide on a spreadsheet program,
some of the people I talked to prefered Quattro Pro for its drilling
capability.  Every spreadsheet program has that now.  I was being nostalgic.
