Actually Borland created the only spreadsheet that still competes with Excel today. I bought version 1 of Quattro, and have upgraded and upgraded and upgraded. The spreadsheet has changed hands-was sold to Novell where it languished, then Novell sold it for a loss to Corel Corp, who merged into Corel WordPerfect Suite, which includes the venerable WordPerfect word processor, still loved by millions the world over. In comparison reviews in trade magazines, WordPerfect Suite and MS-Office stack up so close that you can't tell the differences: They have mostly the same features. Ohhhhhhhh those little software midgets ! They created a compiler - right ? So you see, not quite. And yes, Borland has changed my life a whole lot more than Yahoo or Amazombie ever will. I bought one book (you know-one of those old-fashioned things with paper pages and a cover) from Amazon in 1996. None since. I (like most people) never do anything with Yahoo except to check stock and stock index quotes.
