Buffistas

You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Excel is fucking with me again.

One of my spreadsheets mysteriously turned itself read-only last week. No biggie, we saved-as to make a writable copy and kept going.

Now I'm trying to delete this file and it won't even let me do that!

I'm running a locked-down XP and Office 2007. Any ideas?

Are you sure you don't have a ghost file open? Did you go to task manager and look at "processes" instead of just "applications"?

Aha!

I don't have any Excel processes running at the moment, but since the file is on a shared drive, *somebody* must. I will find out who it is and make them shut it down.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I really should have bought a new home laptop a long time ago. But then, it would already be outdated, huh?

Guess I am really enjoying this shiny new one, with its Window 7. I bought Outlook 2007 at Costco and love how Plaxo syncs it up for me. I tried to do without it, since it didn't come with MS Home Premium or whatever it is I bought, but I really need to be able to see my full calendar.

Now I really want my workplace to upgrade to Win 7 and Outlook 2007. It isn't going to happen anytime soon.

Wow, I have no idea how I ended up posting that in this thread. Did I got drinking and not remember?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I was wondering how that was a tech thing.
