Am I the only one ...

[Flick of the Elbow]

There's lots of tech that I love, not least that which allows me to log on to work from home. And my iPhone and iPad are brilliant, and the radar sensor cruise control in my car will now be a must have in any future purchase.
What I don't like about tech is how quickly stuff becomes obsolete. If it breaks it's not worth repairing, even if it's working perfectly you still have to get rid of it because the supplier removes support for it.

It's not the technology. It's the nobbers that refuse to use it properly. I mean, how hard is the Excel ROUND function really? Two arguments: what you want rounding and how many decimal places you want it rounded by. It's hardly macro writing. Instead, I work out how to print your convoluted spreadsheet (the work printer doesn't take bedsheets) and where odd penny differences are coming from. Grrrr.....

My mate over the road has a programmable remote to flush his lavatories. He's probably upgraded to an App by now.
I just can't work out how I have managed without that essential technology for so long.

Would that be the CrApp?

Just wait till you turn iterations on and blow there mind with circular references that actually calculate an answer for you and recalculate an unknown to make a known when you change the data series. All of which feeds into a pretty graph that moves up and down in real time.

Getting cell referencing to work can be a bugger when row 1 0+0=400 but sum of column a=200 and column b=200.

Round up or round down?

Round uses conventional rounding either up or down depending whether < or >= .5

I think HMRC use a different rule on the self assessment tax return form.

Do you have to log in first?

Round up or round down?

I don't care as long as the odd millionths of a penny go away.

Yes, I know it's a little thing, but these things mount up. Figuratively and literally.

[QUOTE 4723582, member: 9609"]I have a van where you get to exercise your arm and shoulder when you want to open a window - absolutely brilliant.
And it also has simple heating controls where it is possible to control the heat and blower speed with out needing to be a trained astronaut[/QUOTE]
I really get you on that one, my Golf has bloody climate control with so many farty little buttons to control it, so to clear the windscreen etc I have to look away from the road for quite a few seconds to do it, which surely is not good!

My mate's Landy had the heating stuck on roast permanently. Can't you turn it down I said. Sure, he said and wound the window down. Binary choices are all you need sometimes.

I`m all for that
