The INDEX/MATCH was a little tricky to figure out (I looked up some tutorial online), but I was impressed once I figured out what it was doing. I'm not really sure when I would use it though. Most of the time that I have data in a tabular format like that, its through a PivotTable, and I usually use GETPIVOTDATA in that situation. This conversation has gotten way out of hand.

I was no stranger to mIRC either, but AIM was when chatting really took off for me. Its funny to reminisce about the pre-Google days. Do you remember Webcrawler? That used to be my search engine of choice back then. (And apparently, <a href="http://www.webcrawler.com/" rel="nofollow">it still exists</a>. Hahahaha…. love the ending to your comment, Andy.

I think I harken back a bit earlier than you though. My first intro to chat was mIRC (microsoft internet relay chat). I actually was the first one of anyone I know to download the first version of AIM - I remember thinking "I wonder if there's a way for me to chat with my friends who have AOL?" And after much internet searching (this was pre-google naturally), I found glorious AIM. Also, I too only use my left for shifting, controlling, etc. And only my right for spacing. My favorite shortcuts (use a mac) are Apple+W to close a window or browser tab, Apple+number to switch browser tabs in a hury, and I've been a fan of Alt+Tab (apple+tab now) since 10th grade. /me thinks this was a great post.

I couldn't understand any of your dorky excel jokes, haven't had to use that program since we made pie charts about boring things in grade 5. (This is the first time I've commented on your blog, btw, and I love it! The stuff with Taco Bell is totally weird, and I kind of glaze over the football posts, but otherwise you're a really funny guy.)
