1-2-3 was 3rd generation. VisiCalc, while groundbreaking, was quite crude. Its fundamental utility outweighs its lack of sophistication. It was quite 1.0, and once the cat was out of the bag, it was hardly secret tech. There was at least SuperCalc, and Multiplan from MS. But those were really still from the 8-bit world. Lotus was able to start again from scratch with the large memory potential of the PC. MS did a version of Multiplan for the Macintosh. It was amazing! Mice and spreadsheets were a match made in heaven. But it was just a pre-cursor for Excel, and did not last long. |
