I've got two things on my desk: a NCD X-terminal and a WYSE-286 PC running windows and the excellent EXCEL spreadsheet. Actually I almost can't believe what John writes. What are these guys doing? There's nothing wrong with spreadsheet technology. I think I can do the things John is asking for with multiplan (circa 1982?!) on my C-64. (except for the user interface maybe) Does anyone know of a decent spreadsheet for X/SunView?

Haven't these guys heard of the file system?
