Experience with Excel and 'management' in the 1990s: I was working on a big project for the time -- a million or so rows of the data. Management thought Excel was the tool to use. Not only could it not handle the amount of data, it did not even follow the IEEE standard for floating point numbers. Fortunately, I was on a Mac, and had Mathematica. It seems quaint now that major software could not handle even 100,000 rows, but the issues with 'the suits' is really still with us.
