:). Interesting.  I do nearly everything in Excel.  Any time I have a "list"
(like vocabulary, videotape collection, etc.) I do it in Excel.  Of course,
we use Excel often at work as well, so I've gotten skilled with it.  There
have been days where I lived in Excel, pretty much. :)

I did wonder...I was trying to imagine what the necessary relationships
would be. Everything I came up with seemed like needless obsfucation. :)
