Not to mention - I quit smoking Jan 1 - 1981 - and never had a cigarette since.
I actually started in Lotus at work but switched to Excel. I eventually devised my own spread sheet to keep track of miles on each bike plus my weight/calories. In 2009, I switched to Mac and it got transferred to Numbers. I still prefer the Excel platform, or at least I did back then.
Inputting all of those miles from journals and paper spread sheets from 1982 to around 1990 killed a cold winter's day.
BTW, I tried some other systems but always went back to my own.
