 | Free Flight Simulator in MS Excel 97 Believe
it or not - A Flight simulator from MS Excel 97 (courtesy:Integra Microsystems, Bangalore,
India). Ever wondered why Microsoft applications seem to become slower and fatter
with each new release? Apparently the constant rain in Redmond has driven Bill's
engineers to obsessive flights of fancy. Below you'll find instructions on how to access a
little flight simulator that was inexplicably hidden by precipitation-maddened
programmers deep inside Excel 97.
(1) In Excel 97, open a new blank work sheet.
(2) Press F5 and type X97:L97 in the "Reference" box, then click OK.
(3) Now hit your tab key once (you should end up in cell M97).
(4) Press "Ctrl" and "Shift" while clicking once on the "chart
wizard" icon (the one at the top with the blue-yellow-red bar chart).
Welcome aboard ! After a few moments you should be flying. Steer with
the mouse, accel and decel with the left and right mouse buttons respectively, and look
for the monoliths with the programmer credits. You can exit the screen by pressing
Ctrl+Shift+Esc.
Enjoy the flight!

| True Story
AP - Time Magazine reports an interesting case of high-tech graffiti. It seems that a
couple of Intel engineers working on the design of a recent version of the Pentium
microprocessor included a message that describes their feelings about Bill Gates,
president of Microsoft, a good corporate pal of Intel's. When a portion of the Pentium
chip is examined under a powerful scanning electron microscope, the phrase "bill
sux" is clearly visible, etched into the surface of the chip. The "flaw" in
the chip was only discovered by accident well after the chip was released into the market,
too late for Intel to prevent the chip from being used in the manufacture of tens of
thousands of PCs. Intel says that both engineers responsible were former employees of
Motorola, makers of the chips that are the heart of the Apple Macintosh. Both
engineers have since been fired by Intel.
