robbat2UGH!
One of my classes, TECH150 Introduction to Computer Systems was designed for total computer idiots, who know nothing about anything at all! And since TechBC doesn't yet have a challege program up and running, I can't escape! Noooooo....
Seriously, everybody in the school knows what they are doing when it comes to computers already, so besides teaching us the history of comptuters, this course is utterly worthless.
The current thing is working on some stupid Excel stuff:
Problems = If the user is an idiot, he will choose a graph that will cause the smaller set of data to disappear becuase it will be lower than the scale for the large data set. But that will be entirely his own fault, for which he will complain anyway. because (l)users are generally STUPID!
Why can't we just get to the decent stuff, I've written hardware level code before, where I don't need to deal with the stupid user directly, just other intelligent programmers.

The current thing is working on some stupid Excel stuff:
You have experimented with MS Excel 97. Using the sample file MS1.xls:
a. Create a chart that plots marketing costs against time.
b. Create a chart that plots both profits and marketing costs against time. What problems are there in doing this?
