Isn't this how some people at like, a very high level, were communicating??

Like it wasn't in excel, but they had an e-mail account which they both had access to, and would just edit drafts back and forth instead of sending.

How do you know Kelly Rowland isn't just texting back and forth with a high level CIA operative and is engaging in quality opsec?

But the data is still sent via unencrypted line, just not in the logs?

Turns out that he enthusiastically replied that he was at hashtag Value bar, but she mistook “#VALUE!” as an error.

I’m not saying it wasn’t foolish, but it was the early 2000s, where a lot of folks couldn’t afford or did not interact with smartphones, so this could’ve looked legitimate to a lot of people.

Still, from a production point of view, why choose to use Excel here? Is the font on the message drafting screen on this phone much smaller or something??

"it's what we use for our database, why not?"

-- I can't use this app!!!

-- Ok, what app can you use?

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

The answer is simpler than that. Musicians have been using excel for songwriting for ages.

You use the cells as timing marks and you have different lines for instrument notes, overlapping lyrics, etc.

Smartphones didn't even exist in 2002!

Tbf editing a colleague's Excel sheet is the one sure way of getting their attention

Damn, Microsoft really heard people had a new screen that didn't have a spreadsheet and ported Excel to phones. How much actual business oriented data entry is done on a phone, Microsoft? Really. Was there a rush for a productivity suite for the worst form factor possible? Absolute waste of those developers' time and energy.

How else are you gonna always practice for the excel world championships?

[–] HeerlijkeDrop@thebrainbin.org 1 points 2 months ago

This is not Microsoft Excel. This app is just called Sheets and predates this phone. It was already on Psion Series 5 which run EPOC32, an OS which was later renamed to Symbian. This phone runs an early version of Symbian

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Probably product placement. Must be part of the contract that they show Excel on that Nokia

Obviously they’re cloud-sharing the document.

Not every spreadsheet app is Microsoft Excel
