They're not using super-complex Visio things or running a bunch of 
networking appliances in separate VMs?  The latter seems like a thing 
very few people would need to do.  Gigantic spreadsheets are probably a 
more common thing.  I can't really say. Almost every spreadsheet I've 
seen in the last ten years has been "present textual data in a tabular 
format", not "do math on numbers", and they've almost all been under 
10,000 rows.
