Visicalc was first. It was the killer app for use of the PC in the office.
There is no need to pay for a fancy spreadheet to use CHIRP. They are bloated and complicated. I am a free software fanatic, so I use Gnumeric. It has all the capabilities you need for use with CHIRP (and pretty much anything else). I'm a Linux user. Unfortunately for Windows user, new versions do not run on Windows.
If I were forced to use Windows or some other strange platform, I would use Google Sheets.

Whom among you remember VisiCalc ?

I used it every day on a Radio Shack/Tandy Model III running TRS-Dos. It worked very well. If I remember right, Lotus bought VisiCalc, then tried to sue everyone with a spreadsheet with a "look and feel" like it.

I don't think Excel was better than other spreadsheets - Borland Quattro was nicer and available in text mode as well as Windows. Microsoft just bought out (or out advertised) all the competition...seemed to me. _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to Dan Clemmensen at danclemmensen@gmail.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe@intrepid.danplanet.com
