The bloke on the next desk to me uses a pocket calculator to add up lists of numbers that are contained in an Excel spreadsheet. I've tried telling him about the calculating abilities built into Excel but he won't listen and continues to use the pocket calculator (He says I've got this calculator I bought in 1990 so I'm going to continue to use it!). Now he's complaining that the batteries in the pocket calculator are running out... Oh well at least its Friday.

Suggest that he uses the calculator on his phone. :) But what I really wonder is, if you were to give him a VBA script that plugs into Excel that creates a calculator ([like this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDxA34t4pr4)) would his brain short-circuit? :laugh:

I remember accountants using Excel as a word processor.

No sh*t. I work for a company where all of the technical managers are former mechanical engineers. Every document is an Excel spreadsheet, or a spreadsheet embedded in a PowerPoint presentation they pilfered from a marketing yabbo. It's spelled W-o-r-d you morons.
