But it was easy to use, had macros and it had GRAPHS!

I remember all the wasted hours in meetings looking at graphs and pie charts, that people wasted hundreds of hours in making them. Little accountability of funds spent on acquiring software, hardware and training. Rinse and repeat for everything new that came along. And I'm talking about non-Apple stuff, primarily Intel/IBM/MS stuff. Just amazing seeing the craziness in the pursuit of better and faster technology, when you step back and view history. And it isn't over, by no means. Next up: programmable body parts! Why wear technology outside, when you can wear it inside! Bionic-man tech, inside your arm to analyze your golf or baseball bat swing, uploading to your iPhone21, stimulating the right muscles. Future will be interesting.

Maybe but graphs were essential in analyzing data. I can’t even start to describe how much money and manpower 1-2-3 saved our company in the 1980’s.
