You wouldn't believe how much of the GCSE IT course is devoted to spreadsheets or more specifically M$ Excel.

i totally agree with that article spreadsheets while very usefull for small application compleatly disintigrate when they are applied to a large application surch as running companys in my opinion a good old data base with some vb scripts and a bit of coding is all you need

Any application is only as good as the person using it.

There are people who use the wrong tool for the job.

I used to like Lotus1-2-3, then MS copied all the best features for half the price. Something tells me whatever these people are selling it doesn't come cheap and won't be compatible without an 'expert'.
