calc: jumbo sheets on windows (never gonna happen)

[Dan Lewis]

 From my perspective, one needs to learn how to create a database in 
Base including tables, queries, forms and report when working with this 
much data. It is designed to handle large amounts of it. MySQL, 
Postgresql, and Oracle can be used as a backend  for Base being the 
front end.
