    We had a discussion about Microsoft Office and I had to say that in general, most people open Google Sheets, stare in horror and leave. There's no basic experience with any sort of productivity software of any kind.

The universal response to Microsoft Excel, as well. Everyone hates it, but everyone uses it. Sheets kind of sucks until you start digging around and then there's a lot surprising functionality built into it that Google goes out of their way to not tell you about.

Watched the 1960 version of The Time Machine for the first time the other week. Great film!

Yeah, I use google sheets for an absurd amount of things (probably too many) and the fact that it’s connected to the cloud and I can automate it with other web applications like forms, or run weekly reports is a game changer compared to excel.

But I was puzzled last week when a member asked me how to connect their Linux laptop to the printer network. Probably would have figured it out, but I didn’t know Linux users left their house often enough to get laptops.
