I asked an actuary friend who uses Excel all day. He says there are still proprietary advanced features of Excel which prevent him from migrating in his work.
Excel must have had something going for it as well. Why else did people switch from those entrenched products?
It’s either a psychological trauma that causes it or a virus like Herpes that causes homosexuality. There’s no “gay gene” as any sort of thing like that would have been weeded out of the gene pool millennia ago. Anything that reduces fertility (and homosexuality reduces successful reproduction by 90%) is quickly selected against. Darwin is a bitch.
I posted the smartass chick who froze eggs and all of the dozen weren't viable. Because by 45, she had "Failed to meet the right man" and tried to in vitro.

The Poynter Institute for Media Studies has published a harsh reprimand of CNN anchor Chris Cuomo Thursday for his taking part in strategy sessions advising his brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, amid the fallout from the governor’s sexual misconduct allegations.
Poyter’s Tom Jones argued that Chris Cuomo was “deservedly under scrutiny for crossing a journalistic line” following revelations that he took part in advisory calls with Andrew Cuomo and some of his staff members, with Jones calling the situation “a conflict of interest that has been more than a year in the making.”
“Stop and think about what happened here,” Jones wrote. “The host of a primetime show on one of the country’s biggest and most influential cable news networks is advising one of the most powerful and influential politicians in this country on how to handle serious sexual misconduct allegations.”
Nine women, including both current and former aides, have in recent months accused Gov. Cuomo of sexual misconduct.
They just need to learn how to masturbate.
