The Pub with No Beer

[Spartacus]

I do wonder if Foxy is German just by the way he writes

It feels quite literal and Germanic (from experience of German friends)

🤔

Foxy....as a spreadhseet nerd from way back...I truly hope its rammed full of Vlookups, array functions, pivot tables, and even some VB Macros...

I did use SuperCalc 5 when I worked for B.T. back in 1993

It was crap compared with Excel. You had to complete the WorkSheet then Press Calculate.

Did not update as you went along.

When I started a thread this morning entitled 'a pub with no beer', I knew straight away it would inevitably lead to discussions on the specs of different spreadsheet software....

[Spartacus]

Aye cat

But no one has mentioned Lotus 123 yet

Now that was a spreadsheet

Maybe when pubs open it's one of the topics for conversation over beers .. although it will soon breakdown to how wide your columns are?

See what no beer does, it gets people talking to each other, not at each other.

Or am I thinking cocaine?

Has anyone kept a spreadsheet on that?

Friday

6 lines

Saturday

8 lines

Sunday

6lines

Monday

Felt like killing myself

Tuesday

Only 3 days until Friday

Isn't that the lyrics from a cure song?

OMG I hate spreadsheets, but Lotus 123 was the first one I used, and when I moved to London Supercalc 3 was the one of choice. People were very disparaging about Excel We had (IBM) Displaywrite 4 before we went to this new fangled windows business (or win-slow as some called it). I could go on about BT Gold. And mainframes. And Superbrain. Not that I am reminiscing. I did have a state of the art Psion at once point. And floppy discs. And useless laser discs. GUIs and GISs (tee hee). Hotmetal pro. A few years before Fortran77 or Fortran 3.

Ok, a rubber mallet or anything?
