Yikes, I see what you mean! Maybe I’ll read it later, after I’ve finished my morning coffee!
BTW I’m interested in the topic because it’s commonly said that Excel is used a lot more in Japan than in the US, and used more for fillable forms in Japan than in the US. For example, in job applications or applications for rental housing, applications for study abroad, letters of reference etc., it’s common to receive an Excel file with the cells all set just so and you have to fill it out like a template.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think that’s very common in the US, and of course now it’s becoming a little common here to receive a fillable pdf.

Good read!
Well, find it to be a good read probably because I have the right nerditude.
Style-wise, I like the "green on black," it feels like the old monochrome CRT. (I read it in a phone.) Of course when inverts to "black on green," it's also obnoxious like when the old monochrome CRT inverts the colors.
