As far as I know, does Excel not use the same language it did 11 years ago (VBA)? I am a C guy (well, mainly hardware background...EE student), so anything with VB is completely foreign.

Thanks for reply. Good answer ;)

Just out of curiosity (no offense to these companies at all, I am sure their products work great), I fail to see how they have a sizable market in the first place. Mass producers cater to the non-tech savvy guys and corporations. These guys seem to cater to enthusiasts. Don't most...

I am going to try and keep it in *.xls [compatibility mode] (not *.xlsm, that broke it even more). One consistent problem I get is with ANYTHING "ActiveSheet.crap", such as... ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Copy ...no matter where it is I get a '1004' error. That may help clear somethings...

Don't forget me!

Bump from last page. I cannot get the old spreadsheets to work. Is there anyway for Excel 2007 to support Excel 97 VBA? I really thought this software was supposed to be backwards compatible.

I also carry my electronics separate from my keys/change. I still like to have that protection just incase.

I was using the EEEPC, but I grew tired of having to pull the laptop out in class (can you get anymore obvious you aren't paying attention if it isn't a class that needs a laptop) to check crap in class. My friend wants to buy it from me at an OK price, so I am looking to purchase something I...

I of course meant the argument between similar priced e8400 and q6600 (by far the two most popular). If you want to go cheaper and by the budget core2s then of course it is better to go that route. I meant in similar price situations. Because I see gains in certain areas by having a quad...

I love the arguments to justify a purchase of a dual-core versus a quad core. It's one thing to say I see no advantage in what I use today, it is another thing entirely to say that a current dual core is as "future proof" as a quad. I personally purchased a quad because of FSX and SupCom (and...

I have a lot of old Excel spreadsheets (backbone to an older piece of software that is too good to get rid of). Obviously at some point we need to upgrade these spreadsheets to Excel 2007. Before I do this, should Excel 2007 be backwards compatible with the macros in Excel 97?

I also have an external (would like it to be more future proof than 320gb...but oh well), but want the security of online also. With Mozy, can you access your files from another computer? Or upload files from another computer?

This forum seemed to "fit" the best for this question. Has anybody here used online backup systems? I am really interested in Mozy (mainly for price). $5/month for unlimited storage. Just basically want to hear the good or bad about going this route. I just do not trust physical drives.

bump... simple question : In a nutshell, how much does data density affect performance of a HDD? I cannot find any benchmarks anywhere.

Well, I am getting excited about some of the new "netbooks" coming out, especially the Lenovo one. I have already decided I want to order it and a 7.2k laptop HDD at the same time. There is a range of sizes on Newegg from 160gb to 320gb (WD...which is my favorite brand). I know the 320gb has...
