Off-topic: VisiCalc and Lotus 123

I know I'm younger than you, but I used VisiCalc on an old Apple II. After that it was SuperCalc (remember that one) on an Osborne (the first portable computer that came with bundled software). Lotus 123 came out shortly thereafter but was not the first integrated spreadsheet (i.e. with graphics and a database). Can you name the first one? Do you recall what Microsoft's 123 competitor was named?

FYI, one of my first consulting gigs was to teach a course in Lotus 1-2-3 release 1A at Miles Laboratories (makers of Alka-Seltzer; now Bayer). I recall it used to fit on a single 360K floppy.
