When you can
write nearly
perfect versions of PacMan and Space Invaders in your favorite productivity
application, you know it's crossed the boundary. Of course, treating cells like pixels
and implementing the game by changing the background colors probably wasn't what the

guys writing the original games had to deal with. Wow. [SellsBrothers]
This proves my point that 80% of the world's business logic runs in Excel. Perhaps
most of the Video Games also do...and we just never noticed? Splinter ExCell
anyone?
