"Excel is to math what a Microwave Oven is to cooking!"

Does that mean it ruins the numbers and makes the math turn hard?

Hahahah!

I came up with that sentence when I was fighting with my family about "doing math" because I was using Excel. Since I only enter the numbers (as a rule), and the information about the transaction, I'm not actually doing the math, all I'm doing is basic "data entry" and the program, Excel, does the adding/subtracting. (John puts in the SUM command for me ahead of time). So I wouldn't call entering data in Excel, an ability to do math... at least not for me.

And I considered it was like saying using a microwave meant you knew how to cook, because it doesn't. I can't even boil an egg properly without someone telling me if it's done yet, but I can throw something in the microwave and follow directions. But it's not what I would call an ability to cook. :)
