Excel and Access in Anthropology

This week I was given the opportunity to use both Excel and Access while doing a worksheet in my archaeology class. I have used both programs in the past but not extensively, just to do a couple little graphs. Although I found that I had troubles doing a couple things, I see the overall importance of programs like this in collecting and analysing large amounts of data. Without this technology I would have had to count everything and make graphs by hand which would have increased the likelihood of human error exponentially. I wonder how others feel about this technology? Like it, hate it, have never actually used it? If you have time answer the poll to the right!
