[Logic] How to best use QRZ lookup and Log

Mon, 8 Sep 2003 07:21:42 -0400

Actually... I know how to spell "until" also... But I make the same
mistake so often when typing... I wonder what is actually happening
mentally... There are a few other weird spellings that seem to crop up
only when I type quickly... And they aren't "mechanical"...

Actually... I wrote code for a living for about 20 years... But being a
programmer doesn't necessarily qualify us to decide what is a bug in a
user interface... It may actually introduce bias... However I believe no
user-friendly program should ever do something counter-intuitive.

BTW, if you do a save (which is what you would expect F6 to do)... Excel
WILL save the changes in progress in the current cell.
