I used Multiplan extensively in the late 1980s. It was the only software where I used every part of it and thought I was an expert. I also remember Visicalc and Lotus 123. The jump to Excel with the run-time version of Windows was quite an improvement.

I purchased a Zenith 8 Bit CPM, 16 Bit DOS dual processor with a 5 Meg hard drive in 1982.

I used it, with Multiplan in my CPA firm. Cost me $2,500 just to replace the 5 Meg hard drive. Had to park the heads after each use.

That was the first one after the Apple crap. Used the Apple 2e at the university and hated it.

“””I also remember Visicalc and Lotus 123.”””


Thanks for reminding me. And how can anyone forget ‘real’ floppy disks.
