Products - GoldNerds

Professional or Standard

	Both are Microsoft Excel spreadsheets (Windows 7, Vista, XP, or Windows 2000 only). Sorry Mac owners - we are sympathetic, but Excel have made it hard to be compliant. See note 3 below.
	Both cover all the gold and silver companies on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) whose value or focus is at least 50% in gold or silver.
	Both have sorting and comments, and fully customisable scoring and filtering. See The Toolbox.
	Both include a price updater that gets 20-minute delayed stock prices over the Internet (may not work with very old versions of Microsoft Excel or Windows).

Hardware and Software Requirements

1. Each GoldNerds product is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (.xls) file for Windows. You must have Microsoft Excel running on Windows 7, Windows Vista, XP, or 2000 to be able to use our products. GoldNerds uses macros to turn the spreadsheet into a mini-program, which is much easier to use than a raw spreadsheet -- it is NOT a raw spreadsheet of numbers.

2. Minimum screen size: 1024 x 768 pixels.

3. Apple Macs? We like them, but unfortunately Microsoft Excel for Mac 2008 does not support macros and therefore cannot run GoldNerds, while previous and later versions of Excel for Mac supported most but not all of the "standard" macros -- so GoldNerds does not work in Excel for Mac. We do NOT recommend using a Mac for using a GoldNerds spreadsheet, unless using a Windows emulation program such as Parallels on Mac (you will also need a Windows version of Excel).
