You might not have thought it were the right tool for the job, but really, the thought that went into those things was phenomenal. And you ended up with a nice rug afterwards.

It's a follow-up book to Arnowitz's previous one, kind of in the pattern of computer science books that have a follow-up edition "with C++" for examples, or stats books with examples in Excel or whatever. And Excel really is surprisingly versatile... not that it's necessarily best for prototyping but there's probably a low barrier for people who already use it.

Might give it another go. Yeah, I looked a t Protoshare but it didn’t look quite as good. Might give it another go.

It's OK if you acknowledge its limitations and don't try to stretch it. A few web apps have been popping up recently that have similar functionality, e.g. Protoshare...

Wondered if you'd used it or had any opinions? Harry,
