#Lotus123

@bkuhn

I am proud with the fact that I 'wasted' my teenage years with MS-DOS, Windows 3.11, Netware, WordStar, Lotus123 and some other fantastic software.

Ah, the world was clearly clamoring for a Lotus 1-2-3 #reboot 🤔—because who wouldn't want a #spreadsheet that feels like it's stuck in the '80s but pretends to speak Excel? 🕹️ Apparently, #GitHub thinks this is #innovation, while the rest of us are still trying to figure out how to navigate their labyrinth of features. 🔍

The best post I've read this year! Currently learning how to do spreadsheets with Lotus 1-2-3 Release 4 for DOS (multiple worksheets per file is non-negotiable.)

🚀🎩 Oh look, a thrilling 33-minute ode to a fossilized spreadsheet—Lotus 1-2-3—because apparently, we're desperate for #nostalgia over functional software. Next, let's pine for dial-up modems and floppy disks, because who needs progress when you’ve got vintage tech? 🙄📉

Lotus 1-2-3 on the PC w/DOS

VisiCalc started it, but 1-2-3 finished it. "It" being the discussion of what a spreadsheet can be, and also VisiCalc itself.

I've been good friends with #VisiCalc over the past five years, but I've always turned my nose up at #Lotus123 for some reason. "Thinks he's so special. He's not special. Just a copycat wannabe jerk and..." well, I'll save all that for therapy.

I finally broke down and learned it, and you know what? I didn't hate it. I liked it, even. Maybe I even... loved it?!

Did you know that #Lotus123 is still referenced in Microsoft #Excel documentation to this day, but not #visicalc I finally spent some time getting to know VisiCalc's literal killer. When I struggled to get a chart made, I turned to the only one who could help me: an AI. From 1986!
