Yeah, everyone commenting about being able to handle billions of rows easily, which obviously very true if you are worming with sql or similar.

But this is probably some finance kid, investment banker analyst, and only knows how to use Excel.

60,000 rows in excel with formulas, if not done efficiently, can for sure make you computer a little toasty.
