I've tried it with Open Office and I can read it but the automatic thing doesn't seem to work. The other version that had the breeding tree works in open office though.

I tried opening the spreadsheet in OpenOffice.org's spreadsheet. Like Excel, macros have to be allowed through the security settings first; the default is not to allow them.

However, when I tried it I got an error message "... No Script!", so it doesn't look promising, unless Borg feels like spending more time on making the macro OpenOffice.org-compatible.

lol, me too. I'm not sure if that was a typo or not, but it's such a great word! I'm going to start using that! With Arnie's permission of course...

I think that Arnie may have gotten it from me, or we were both using it on our own. I've been using the would "automagically" for years. It seems especially appropriate with LDW's games.

We've both been using it, I'd say. I'm sure I didn't invent it so I must have copied its use from someone, but I've no idea where or when I first saw/heard it. It certainly sums up what goes on inside computers for most of us.

And of course, Isola is a magic island ...

Using the forum search engine shows that I used it almost a year ago, and then two days ago , and then you used it in this thread.

But it is a pretty common usage in geeky mailing lists and forums.

Well, I still like it!
