My father-in-law is a mostly retired mining engineer. He keeps a lot
of data about mines in an Excel spreadsheet.
I'm a QA tester. I've been working on a data-driven Fit-like harness
that holds test data in Excel spreadsheets.
He had to do some math on the values in the table. I hacked up my test
data framework to parse his spreadsheet (took about 15 minutes), and
now he's learning Ruby (and the very nice ScriptingExcel page at Ruby
Garden) because he just couldn't do his work with VBA.
He is 71 years old.
