Microsoft Office 2008 Pisses me off…

I’ll admit, I’m a huge advocate of Mac/Apple/iPod/iTouch/blah blah blah… But what pisses me off to know end is that Microsoft has sort of dwindled away from supporting “non-PC” users. 

What I mean here, is that I use Excel quite often. Crunching numbers, tracking percentages, what have you. But, I’ve been obsessed with this sports website lately, and a lot of work goes into Excel and punching out numbers with it….

Here’s my problem. Excel on a PC allows you to find connect to a source (www.protrade.com) and track changes on the site. Protrade, a fantasy sports website, in the “stock exchange” form, has a lot of fluctuating stocks. I would like to keep tabs on these fluctuating stocks, but unfortunately for me, Microsoft doesn’t like “me” the Mac user.

I get this message each time:

Please, JP, all knowing god of the universe, explain this to me!
