[QUOTE="Clark, post: 2495050, member: 6600"] I was working on the Tornado jet fighter radar warning power supply converters in 1988 with a Lotus 123 spreadsheet on an IBM 486. Then the powers that brought me the computer ruled I must use Excel. With 123, I already had long formulas for power and heat in every cell on 3000 electronic components. They said Excel was inconvenient, but more powerful. I was already doing lots of math in 123. Outside of having a bootleg copy of 123, I was stuck with Excel in 1988. So for 34 years I have been living with Excel. I tried using Excel for handloads in 2000, but it did not work for me. I was overloading 9mm with hundreds of combinations of bullets and powders. I found it best for me to track overload work ups in 60+ cartridges with range reports that are searchable. I use gmail for that. The emails also contain build and accuracy info on the rifles. My son is an engineer working on Chrome for Google. As he points out, "Chrome, like gmail, is free". But I have so much data stored in gmail, I pay a yearly fee. I do use Excel for tracking my 1) guns, 2) scopes, 3) reamers and go gauges. [/QUOTE]
