"In those days [1978-1979], if you showed [the VisiCalc demo]
to a programmer, he'd say, 'Well, that's neat. Of course computers
can do that - so what?' But if you showed it to a person who had to
do financial work with real spreadsheets, he'd start shaking and say,
'I spent all week doing that.' Then he'd shove his charge cards in
your face." -- Dan Bricklin, one of the creators of VisiCalc,
quoted in a
1989 Byte interview
