Use eBay
Ahhhh, eBay… the ultimate worldwide flea market. Everyone from Midwestern grannies to jobless goatee-ed neo-hippies (as if there are any other kind) are in on the action, peddling their wares in the wee hours of the morning. Chances are if you want to buy, some poor sucker is selling, and if you want to sell, there's some poor sucker willing to buy.
We know what you're thinking: How do I avoid being the aforementioned "poor sucker"? Well, we're here to save your sorry ass. But first we have to make one thing clear: This article will assume you have at least a basic understanding of how eBay works.

How Much Email?
It almost seems like there are fashions in email. We’ve spent a lot of time talking about handling email stress or even resorting to the nuclear option of email bankruptcy. Most of our fascination with email (and ways to handle it) seems to be driven by the common perception that we’re drowning under an avalanche of the stuff. Indeed, in some circles it’s fashionable to boast about the size of one’s inbox or the number of hundreds of messages that one gets per day.

More on Excel
You may have recently read of an issue in Excel 2007 involving calculation of numbers around 65,535 where Excel 2007 would return a value of 100,000 instead of 65,535. Excel incorrectly displays the result of a calculation in 12 very specific cases. The key here is that the issue is actually not in the calculation itself (the result of the calculation stored in Excel’s memory is correct), but only in the result that is shown in the sheet.
You can get more detail on the problem here:
Microsoft Excel : Calculation Issue Update
Microsoft have just released an update for both Excel 2007 and Excel Services in Office SharePoint Server 2007 that fixes this problem.
Description of the Excel 2007 hotfix package: October 9, 2007
Excel Services in Office SharePoint Server 2007 hotfix package: October 9, 2007
