It's not relevant to the current discussion, but waaaay back when, I worked
with a guy who had created some monster spreadsheets in Excel with
something like 9,000 columns. It was working, but it was incredibly slow --
this was running on 68k Macs. Not expecting success, I suggested he give
FileMaker a shot. He did, and amazingly, not only did it happily handle
database definitions with 9,000 fields, it was not just faster than Excel,
it was actually speedy. It had zero problems, and he built out the entirety
of his solution that way.
