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.
