The lovely people at Microsoft decided not to include VBA macro support for Excel (or Word) in the 2008 Mac version. So if you're a Mac user with an updated Office package, you'll have to get your AC/DC fix someplace else (such as by urinating on an electric outlet).

(not kidding) It actually looks like an old boot scraper. When people road horses in town, the roads would be full of droppings. Consequently, boot scrapers were placed at the front door, next to the mat. This way you wouldn't stomp the droppings into the mat when wiping your feet on it.

Run Dack, Run!
