Rosemary, Your answer was only half right. Visi-calc was the first visual spread sheet, which paved the way for lotus 1 2 3, within 1 2 3 was the making of what we call today software suites. Also, 1 2 3 made it possible to use a IBM PC for business purposes, so the IBM PC became mass produced product, which in turn has given us DELL and the PC industry we have today. 1 2 3 also, gave Lotus enough cash to make notes. Which was good since 1 2 3 was beaten by MS excel. Notes beget cc:mail, which beget Domino, which does for corporations, that Netscape can only hope to do. So as you see Visi-calc is the mother of all visual computing, software and hardware we have today that we call the PC industry. So there you have it. The root to it all.
