  - The inside of a woman's thigh might disagree. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Oct 15, 13:37

bery : I would be doing it in Access if it were up to me, making into nice pretty reports. - groiny Oct 15, 13:23 23
- I am just starting to get into access. I would say my skill level is maybe a five. I wouldn't mind taking a class -- - chromanda Oct 15, 13:30 20
  - seriously, pencil me in next week, and we can even do a remote - groiny Oct 15, 13:31 19
    - we can do access after my interview. they only care about excel, and right now? I only care about what they care about. nm - chromanda Oct 15, 13:40
    - I hope you get residuals. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 13:33 17
      - I wouldn't pass off his work as my own. I think the groin is perfectly happy to teach me what he knows - chromanda Oct 15, 13:37 9
        
        I got one equation from zork and one equation from kilbo in a 15 sheet workbook. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 13:38 8

        It's good! I am saving it in case I need it later. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 13:40 5
        
        not to mention... it helped me understand how the stuff works, which is what matters. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 13:41 4
        
        yes, this is true. and it is ok. but you did not do it by YOURSELF. - groiny Oct 15, 13:43 3
        
        you're insane. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 13:44 1
        
        and you look like a fucking clown, and you are a fraud. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 15, 13:44
        
        MARRY ME. (no really. we need to talk. what am I not remembering in excel??) -- nm - chromanda Oct 15, 13:44
      - the difference is, I am sure she would not claim to have conquered the world by herself. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 15, 13:36 6
        
        by your logic she couldn't claim to have passed the test. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 13:37 5
        
        while, I would love to debate this with you, you're delusional. - groiny Oct 15, 13:40 3
        
        you must be a very miserable person. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 13:41 2

        see? don't you want a bus, too? -- nm - chromanda Oct 15, 13:44
        
        I'm sweating the test unnecessarily. I build financial models daily that are dozens of worksheets long. - chromanda Oct 15, 13:39
- That would be useful for running dozens of simulations and storing the results, for sure. - Beryllium (iPhone) Oct 15, 13:26 1
  - I have to use excel because all this stuff is going to be imported into a big powerful program later. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 13:31

LIR: stewie. I have the torch. While I don't sit and compare it ad nauseum to an iPhone 4 or whatever, the screen is perfectly usable - kilbooooo Oct 15, 13:22 1
- I've never seen one in person.. but all the reviews I saw pointed it out -- nm - stewie Oct 15, 13:24
Thanks to everyone for the smart phone stuff. I'll look it over later. - Mel Profit Oct 15, 13:21 1
- yes, go to the stores and play with the phones (you already knew that) - tRuMaN Oct 15, 13:22
Bonus with phones with keyboards: they also have touchscreen. (At least mine does.) - JaxSean Oct 15, 13:21 14
- See...I think I hate the physical keyboard. - Mel Profit Oct 15, 13:23 13
  - I dislike it, but for me it's not the thumbs that are the issue, it's how I have to arch my hands to type. I far prefer typing on my iPhone, which I - Roger More Oct 15, 13:35

    - I've had the storm for 2 years (no keyboard) and at first I disliked it, but now I think I prefer it. -- nm - decline Oct 15, 13:30
    - I've had the torch for a bit now. I still use the keyboard almost 100% of the time for typing -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 15, 13:27
  - i thought i would hate the touchscreen, but with Swype, i actually prefer it - Guy Oct 15, 13:25
  - You get used to the physical keyboard, but you also have the virtual keyboard. So you get both and can decide. - JaxSean Oct 15, 13:24 3
    - This is on S's Android, right? - Mel Profit Oct 15, 13:28 2
      - Her's is the EVO. No physical keyboard. The Samsung Epic is .3 inches smaller, but has the keyboard. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 15, 13:32 1
        
        Got it. Thanks. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 15, 13:33

    - dumb. thanks. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 15, 13:35 4

        I suppose you're right given the power that's contained in them now. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 15, 13:40 2
        
        I have a device the size of a credit card that's 1000 times more powerful that the computers that launched the Apollo missions. - Reagen Oct 15, 13:43 1
        
        What do they say...laptops a few years ago were more powerful than the computers of the Columbia? -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 15, 13:44
- Here's the Cnet Prize Fight for the Evo vs. the Epic. I'm not knocking either one. They each have benefits. -- (link) - Mop (222 lbs) Oct 15, 13:28

- We use Excel for agile project planning here. I think it's awful. (But, it reminds me of "Democracy is the worst form of governance ...") -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 13:18 5
  - Speaking as a very ignorant Excel "user" (or struggler), we seem to use it for making tables around here. Almost entirely composed of text -- no - mara Oct 15, 13:22 4
    - why do that when you can just draw it on a paper, take a picture of it, and paste it into a Powerpoint slide? - TFox Oct 15, 13:31 2
