Yeah, right. <smirk> And you can't do real statistics (regressions and
anything more complicated) because Excel does some of them wrong, and no
one can figure out how because the software isn't open source.  Even with
other non-open-source stats software, you can learn how it works.  Not the
M$ kind though.
