AC/DC Video in Excel

This workbook by Phil Clandillon is an amazing thing. It plays 45 seconds of an AC/DC rock video. The workbook advertises that you can watch the video in glorious ExcelVision, which is a very low-res video rendered in ascii text.

First, there are no viruses in the code. Phil left the code open for anyone to see. If you are a VBA fan, take a look at the code. Phil was able to extract the .WAV file embedded in the Excel workbook to your hard drive using a clever bit of code in the ExtractWAV procedure.
