    Excel tables.

    No Linux/OSS app can do this (and will likely never). Open Office devs have outright declared they won’t.

    Or the automated process that export/import data via excel.

    Let’s see you rebuild all those things, without man hours or errors. Costly errors.

    Whenever someone gets on a “just switch” campaign (whether it’s something like Linux or Metric), I know they’ve never had to work on a migration project and seen the challenges, difficulties, and risk.

    I use Linux for servers, but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna spend time converting my workstation - there’s zero value in it for me when I have decades of tools and process. The value proposition just isn’t there.

    Don’t go taking down a fence until you fully understand what it’s for.












  • My mom made us all repeat the rules before we left the car (no running, no putting things in the cart without being asked, keep one hand on the cart while we are moving or something like those)

    Wow, I’d forgotten this till just now - my mother did the same. Thanks for the memory jog!

    I can remember being 2 or 3 years old and the golden rule then was to always be holding someone’s hand - parent/sibling, etc.
