People actually use this crap!

BinnyVA is dumbfounded when he realises "that people actually use the office packages daily". So am I. Why would I ever bother to use OpenOffice or, indeed, Micro$$$$$$ Office? Only because other people just can't kick the habit, so I'm occasionally forced to stoop to that level for the sake of cooperation. The content of the documents I get from others is - when I'm lucky - plain text (but hey, sure, you're welcome to save 364 bits of text as a 32 kB file!) or - when I'm not so lucky - something I can convert into plain text within an hour or so. Gee, some people use Excel to make lists of e-mail addresses ... Copy and paste? No, they type them!

Talking of BinnyVA, sometimes he's crazy - but in a really great way!
