what a brilliant blog. the Lotus 1-2-3 screen brings so many memories of my childhood.

My father was a power user of Lotus back in the late 80's. He extensively used it as his job at GE. When we moved back to Pakistan, he setup a girls school and tracked everything from students to accounting to results in Lotus. In many ways, Lotus showed him the power of computers and made him buy a home computer when hardly anyone I knew had it.

Late in his life the world moved onto Excel and reluctantly he had to do it too but his love for Lotus never went away.
