Dan, >Excel 97 bugged again www5.zdnet.com >If you're using Microsoft Corp.'s Excel 97 spreadsheet, you might want to double-check your math with your calculator. Don't worry, Reg assured me that Excel 97 is the most innovative spreadsheet ever. Who really uses the math functionality in a spreadsheet anyways? Here's a class to help the MSFT guys write better code: enum Boolean {Bill = TRUE, Java = FALSE}; Class MATH:public CommonSense { public: void Change(Cell CriticalData, Cell NewData); volatile UserTypes Consumer; private: void Recalc(Cell CriticalData); protected: UpgradeCycle Endless; friend class CorporateAmerica; }; void MATH::Change(Cell CriticalData, Cell *NewData) { CriticalData->Number = NewData->Number; Recalc(CriticalData); }; Of course Office98 will fix everything! Upgrade Now! Sounds like the new ActiveTrash technology is a big hit with the MacOffice98 owners. Take it easy, Norm

NT 5.0 arrives (sort of) www5.zdnet.com And I sort of missed this important news. We get new terminology, too. Microsoft Corp. is making available to thousands of technical beta testers an interim beta release of NT 5.0. NT5B2 is the enterprise beta, but I don't know what to call interim NT5B2. Speaking of bloated middleware OS's. . . Some testers who were notified of availability of the product on Friday said the Interim release was too large for them to download. Microsoft is telling testers of the Intel X86 version to allocate more than 400 MB of hard disk space for a "fresh-installation" download the NT Workstation Interim release (or 300 MB for an upgrade installation) and Intel X86 NT Server Interim testers to have nearly 500 MB available for a fresh installation (or nearly 400 MB for an upgrade). "They've put everything but the kitchen sink in the new build," said one tester, who said he had yet to find the release notes on Microsoft's NT beta download site. Cheers, Dan.
