I still use Excel quite a bit for budget stuff, to do lists, inventories etc. I guess you can get away from the office, but you can never quite get away from MS Office.The Cynical Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047491682363507834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-56136080201866220702015-08-24T22:49:17.201-07:002015-08-24T22:49:17.201-07:00"My own personal Dilbert cartoon" - ha! ..."My own personal Dilbert cartoon" - ha! What a great idea for documenting boat things. It all looks very intimidating to me, but your diagrams make it seem like a high school physics lesson - nice :)Ms. Rankinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00668873733410157597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-61876278011058590182015-08-24T12:32:29.309-07:002015-08-24T12:32:29.309-07:00Well, can't say that I miss Powerpoint, but us...Well, can't say that I miss Powerpoint, but use Excel all the time. It is handy for inventory...when you wonder where in all those nooks and crannies you might have stored something. Spreadsheet has a list of items (provisions, spares, etc.) and quantity of each item in each identified storage location. Guess I'm lucky on the diagram front...an ex charter boat tends to have decent pictures in the manual for important things...like getting the renters to keep the boat from sinking. ;-)<br /><br />-Mike<br /><a href="http://thisratsailed.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">ThisRatSailed</a>Mike Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279932231094933575noreply@blogger.com
