QOTW: "The security 'droids have decided that since the MS Office Suite is a
'standard' application then software written in MS Office VBA must be 'safe.'

and can't be installed." - Peter Olsen
"There's nothing wrong with open source projects catering to a market, and
there's nothing wrong with running open source software on a proprietary
operating system." - Steve Holden
