I made use of the Excel features already! Thanks for the Excel
  integration. That was the biggest feature for me. I already put
  something together with it last night - a simple console based
  "thought collector" that takes what you write, date/time stamps
  it in one column and puts what you write in another column,
  saves the changes, then asks for more. When you're finished, you
  just type "bye". I guess it's like a log file / captain's log /
  type of thing. I love being able to CONTROL Excel from the
  "outside" rather than depending on VBA, which I love too, but I
  don't like being married so firmly to macro limitations.
  Compiled to an EXE and I can share it, which I did already. What
  you did is marvelous and easy. First little EXE I've made in a
  long time. Very satisfying
