Oh come on now, you know you love the paperclip guy :)
And what about mail merge, and VBA automation, and drag and drop, and all of
that other stuff I've never gotten around to doing anything productive with?

I am 22 years old and I can still remember playing with my dad's 8086 with a
whopping 20mb hard drive. The day we updgraded to 130mb... well, we never
thought we'd need to buy another hard drive again! Qbasic... now those were
the days...

Its amazing how commonplace these machines have become in so short a time.
You don't realize it until you reminisce like this, but it was not very long
ago (10 to 15 years?) that most small and medium sized businesses ran all of
their books without computers. We have all been part of an amazing,
revolutionary time in history - the rise of the internet and the
proliferation of PCs. The world will never be the same as it was just 20
years ago.

Now should we thank microsoft or blame them? ;)
