it depends on the jobs you're looking at. I've never seen it on a resume in any of the candidates I've reviewed. I'd be more impressed with some VBA/macro skills. That would show an in depth understanding of Office and skills beyond that.

Commodore 64, two paddles and a tape drive.

When I hear billing systems for mobile and HP I think HP Superdomes and Amdocs software. I'd laugh if they were using Amdocs given their heritage.

I'm not a fan of any Dropbox systems as Dropbox won't sync across my company's firewalls/proxy. Evernote never has a problem, Skydrive is usually fine.
