Mac v PC Part I

“Excel.exe has generated an error” was the cry from the desk behind me. “I can’t open the file and it’ll take 2 days to get a restore”

Enter a knight in shining armour (or a least a shiny-screened MacBook). And what could Neo-Office (a FREE Office Suite) do that Excel couldn’t? Yes - it opened the supposedly corrupt Excel file. All that was missing was a few graphs - and they were easily re-creatable.

I’m not sure whether the young damsel in distress was more speechless about the recovery of her precious data or the shiny white laptop on my desk! Anyway, fact remains - Mac 1 PC 0.
