My favorite was when he wanted to avoid selecting colors directly, so he 
made hundreds (maybe thousands) of files which were basically the same 
OTHER than what color they specified... and then hand-picked those.

His stated goal (not quoting) was to have his terminal windows match his 
background. Now assuming you want to do this (which is really rather 
odd) he had to limit his desktop options to some preset selection. I 
have NO desire to do this, but took him up on his challenge:

Maybe even better was his attempt to change the name of a file that was 
open:

His method risked losing data... repeatedly. :)

They are both spreadsheets but very different beasts. And that is OK.

There are places it can work well... though with most of those Excel 
works well, too. I do think he showed sc as being faster for some 
things... maybe not.
