As for the "phone home" part, all it takes is telling a firewall not to
allow it and there goes that part.

I wonder if I put some code in an excel file to do a HTTP post in the
background, if it would run on most computers? I could do this at random
on specific days with specific users.
I know that this is a privacy issue (rembember Belgium has the most
strict Privacy Law in the world), but all parties agreed to receive and
keep this data confidential, so probably there will be no complaints
:-).
