Agree... my wife is very smart (Dr. med.) but coming to gadgets and computers... it hurts to see her using her laptop 
But hey... I am still very lucky, I don't get "My computer is not working" more than 1 or 2 times per year
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

You are lucky.

That's when I took away the admin rights from her.

In what category do I place people who miss literary allusions?

In what category do I place people that use obscure euphemisms when attempting to debase the inherent coherency of others in regards to cognitive acuity simply because they complement another's accomplishments?

It's also possible that your psychic powers are not quite as good as you imagined, and that you impugned me with malicious motives that were simply never present. I was merely making an on-topic literary allusion, but you went all white knight trying to defend people who were never attacked in the first place to make you feel better about yourself at my expense.
I also object to your claim that Clarke's Three Laws are obscure:

Well, I looked around for an adequate excel-like wpf spreadsheet control, and found a product called "ReoGrid". I'll give it a shot to adapt my code to it for an article. Maybe it does formulas better...

I think Spreadsheet Gear (also not free) may have a WPF control, they has a Silverlight control and it was reasonably useful for a simplistic solution we needed it for.

Well, I just checked out "ReoGrid", and in a nutshell, it's crap. It was easy enough to get a spreadsheet control in a window, but after loading a file, the displayed data is, well, not displayed.
A quick check with the debugger shows that the control is actually loaded with the intended file, and shows the correct number of columns and rows, but the display shows nothing, even if I highlight a range of cells.
The search for a free spreadsheet control continues.

SyncFusion has a free version of their stuff that doesn't appear to be time limited. I'll check that out.

Yeah - I blasted him about my problem already because that's the only way I could find to contact him.

Amen. I fleshed out over-the-top detection algorithms with 99.6% accuracy (wrt the 64% of previous one) and managed to squeeze its maximum 13 ms completion time in 4.5 ms. No one batted an eye.
I made a bunch of 5-8 lines utility functions and "Woah! Amazing!".

In the first contract job I had, I noticed that every night, one of my colleagues started a VB program to go against the company database of 30M records. It only wanted about 3K records each time it was run. When I asked him why he started it just before going home, he said it took 20+ hours to extract the data. When I got back in the morning, I looked at the code. The code for extracting the data used dates in the VB format rather than the database format so it was passing all 30M records back. A couple of changes and it ran in less than 5 minutes. I stayed there 4 years and rewrote a number of progs written by the same programmer plus a lot more from scratch, of course.
