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.
