Turn Excel Into A Drum Machine

Some crazy guy has found a way to map sounds to keys using, I take it, Visual Basic for Applications in Excel (and a custom DLL) so that you can now use your keyboard to trigger your midi drums. Cool (ish). Someone else has taken the next logical step and made Excel store the pattern, which is slightly cooler, though it's only one pattern.

Of course, if you've got a computer and an internet connection you could just Google for, say, "free drum software" and come up with a page like this and save yourself a whole heap of trouble...
