I had very little problem and switched from XP to W7 very easily. I currently run a mixture of XP, Vista and W7 at home with no issues except I connect an older inkjet and a scanner to the XP machine as W7 doesn't have the drivers - although Vista did for the printer, which is weird. I have a newer printer and scanner that work fine with W764 though so it's just laziness waiting t upgrade the XP to W7 I suppose.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I was only complaining that I *still* have to use WinXP for up to the next 6 months...

You know what is the worst feature of Excel?
The formulas are localized. That means, if you get a spreadsheet written by someone using the Excel in English you can't use it when you use the German Office version... 
(Yeah, I know you can switch the language which MS Office should use, but it's still a PITA)

The simple answer is to only use English.

Mea Culpa, English is the de facto lingua franca, a splendissimo performance par excellence of how a bijou isle has adopted and subsumed all other tongues into the maelstrom of the vox populi demoticism for which there is a ex gratia regard by the hoi polloi for the gestalt that is English.

Quote: "Kyrie,
It is Zeus' anathema on our epoch and the heresy of our economic method and policies that we should agonize the Skylla of nomismatic plethora and the Charybdis of economic anaemia.
It is not my idiosyncracy to be ironic or sarcastic but my diagnosis would be that politicians are rather cryptoplethorists. Although they emphatically stigmatize nomismatic plethora, they energize it through their tactics and practices. Our policies should be based more on economic and less on political criteria. Our gnomon has to be a metron between economic strategic and philanthropic scopes.
In an epoch characterized by monopolies, oligopolies, monopolistic antagonism and polymorphous inelasticities, our policies have to be more orthological, but this should not be metamorphosed into plethorophobia, which is endemic among academic economists.
Nomismatic symmetry should not antagonize economic acme. A greater harmonization between the practices of the economic and nomismatic archons is basic.
Parallel to this we have to synchronize and harmonize more and more our economic and nomismatic policies panethnically. These scopes are more practicable now, when the prognostics of the political end economic barometer are halcyonic.
The history of our didimus organization on this sphere has been didactic and their gnostic practices will always be a tonic to the polyonymous and idiomorphous ethnical economies. The genesis of the programmed organization will dynamize these policies.
Therefore, I sympathize, although not without criticism one or two themes with the apostles and the hierarchy of our organs in their zeal to program orthodox economic and nomismatic policies.
I apologize for having tyrannized you with my Hellenic phraseology. In my epilogue I emphasize my eulogy to the philoxenous aytochtons of this cosmopolitan metropolis and my encomium to you Kyrie, the stenographers."
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
--Zachris Topelius

Semantics!
I would use a named range.

Not in the slightest.
As an Excel Guru you would know that inserted rows or columns could move your reference: so you would easily become =F5 instead. My version does not have that bug.

I will claim the Red Queen Hypothesis.
I could quite easily become =F5 should I fail to keep up with the nuances and skills that newer releases engender and promulgate.

You think it's easy to drop-sear-turn-remove?
In my yoof I had a MacJob while at Uni, and all jokes apart the grill was actually hard work. On a busy shift you could be running three rows of burgers - so 36 in all - put one row on, turn the previous [adding onion as well], sear the row you've just put on, remove the oldest set onto their buns and start again. Bun prep had to provide a tray of buns every 40 seconds and the finished buns then went on to wrap. Most stores had two grills - one for regular and one for quarters. It looks like a POP until you have a go and then you see how hard it is.
Where I was, the grills where normally done by students who could actually follow the instructions. The real Wuck Fits would be put on fries'n'pies; you need a special kind of retardation to screw that one up but some still managed. The worst job, the one most people tried to avoid, was serving; even floor - keeping the front of house clean - was better than serving.
As a final little bon-mot, the stars are each for a different type of work and the name badges are different colours for different grades trainee/crew/lead/manager.
