Fun and games with excel

Beieve it or not - A Flight simulator from MS Excel 97 (courtesy: Integra

Ever wondered why Microsoft applications seem to become slower and fatter with
each new release?

Apparently the constant rain in Redmond has driven Bill's engineers to
obsessive flights of fancy. Below you'll find instructions on how to access a
little flight simulator that was inexplicably hidden by precipitation-maddened
programmers deep inside Excel 97.

(1) In Excel 97, open a new blank work sheet.
(2) Press F5 and type X97:L97 in the "Reference" box, then click OK.
(3) Now hit your tab key once (you should end up in cell M97).
(4) Press "Ctrl" and "Shift" while clicking once on the "chart wizard" icon
    (the one at the top with the blue-yellow-red bar chart).

Welcome aboard! After a few moments you should be flying. Steer with the mouse,
accel and decel with the left and right mouse buttons respectively, and look
for the monoliths with the programmer credits. You can exit the screen by
pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc.

Enjoy the flight...
