Excel

Excel is a bit of a headache. Always has been. I'm sorry to say that I have taken classes in Excel and still struggle with the more complicated maneuvers. I had done graphs in Excel 2003, but 2007 seems more unclear, to me. 2003 had a nice little Chart Wizard that spelled everything out for you. Not so much with 2007, though, there are clearly more fun visual options in 2007. I literally spent hours just trying to have my Legends labeled correctly. It turned out fine, but who knows if I went about correctly. I probably went the long way around. The best part about Excel is the magical Fill Handle, by which all cells turn to gold with just a click and drag.

Word

I think I underestimated MS Word. I thought I knew everything. Let's face it. We use Word everyday. But, honestly, I hadn't really taken the time to explore Word 2007, since it is so similar to 2003. When I found the SmartArt feature, it it made my day. I can think of so many Word documents I could've improved by using this. I love making work flow bubbles! Although, nothing compares to the day I discovered the Bibliography feature...oh, how life changing.

Module 3

I thought my non-interest in computer technology had peeked during the hardware module, but I was so wrong. Operating systems, what a snoozer. Though, I could tell that the websites were trying to make it fun. Bless their little hearts.
I originally tired to find an article about Microsoft's FAT lawsuits, but couldn't find anything about the most recent TomTom battle. At least not, in the UK databases, as the assignment required. That peeked my interest momentarily, but only as a matter of law, nothing at all to do with FAT.
