Costs you an extra grand or two but so totally worth it. With a 4 GB USB dirve costing less than a grand, its much better than a CD/DVD. More music, lower maintenance, no scratching or CDs, and no track jumps when you hit a pothole.

I have actually used Tableau and found it very powerful and flexible. In my opinion, it is good value for money. Unfortunately, it is very tough to convince management to invest in a product that only makes charts look good, and nothing else. Still, I think a professional option beats spending hours on a generic software customizing charts.

Need a better solution that excel. I will check out the solutions you posted. I found a non-freeware aka commercial software to be pretty good at pivot tables + charts known as tableau.

I know it's easier said than done, but then when I was thinking about the "(almost)" i wrote here, I realized that for every Microsoft product, there exists an alternative and high chances that it is better than the Microsoft solution :| Fri, 25 Jan 2008 14:52:03 +0100 http://technyou.supersized.org/archives/76-guid.html#c52 http://technyou.supersized.org/archives/75-My-Newfound-Addiction-Webcomics.html#c51 http://technyou.supersized.org/archives/75-My-Newfound-Addiction-Webcomics.html#comments http://technyou.supersized.org/wfwcomment.php?cid=75 nospam@example.com (Ojas) Thanks for the recommendations RD. I'd second Goyal, PHD comics is really good. Unfortunately, I dont read any of these (my RSS feeds include Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes, Basic Instructions, XKCD only). Basic Instructions was nice initially, but I dont get time to read it nowadays. I only hope I will get more time and certain restrictions at the workplace will be removed. I shall come back to this page and check out your recommendations, ONLY THEN! :( Thu, 03 Jan 2008 19:30:50 +0100 http://technyou.supersized.org/archives/75-guid.html#c51 http://technyou.supersized.org/archives/75-My-Newfound-Addiction-Webcomics.html#c50 http://technyou.supersized.org/archives/75-My-Newfound-Addiction-Webcomics.html#comments http://technyou.supersized.org/wfwcomment.php?cid=75 nospam@example.com (Goyal) You might like PHD Comics. And I agree, xkcd rocks!

I wish I could post a video of me scrolling in Firefox, but the framerates of videos will not do justice. To be honest, the scrolling is not as perfect as when I scroll in Windows... then again, it is very acceptable and not worth complaining about the driver for. It is WAY WAY better than without using the driver. That was a nightmare! Rohan (PS: It would be great if you could leave your email address in an encoded format (helgesdk [at] gmail [dot] com) for example, so that I can tell you when I post a reply. :) Thu, 22 Nov 2007 15:36:37 +0100 http://technyou.supersized.org/archives/70-guid.html#c49 http://technyou.supersized.org/archives/70-Take-a-Peek-into-my-World-Ubuntu-Screencast.html#c48 http://technyou.supersized.org/archives/70-Take-a-Peek-into-my-World-Ubuntu-Screencast.html#comments http://technyou.supersized.org/wfwcomment.php?cid=70 nospam@example.com (helgesdk) How do you classify "scroll issues"? I've tried for many hours now, but Firefox scrolling is far from smooth when I run Compiz. If you start compiz from a terminal, along the lines, does it say something like "Trying again with indirect rendering"?

But ever since I put that right, there are no scroll issues.

Alternatively - do what I do - install VLC (http://www.videolan.org) to take care of all your audio-visual needs. I recommend that even for windows.
