My dad once told me a story how in the 80's he was a manager in an engineering division and wrote up a big spec for a computer system that he wanted IT to develop that would 'solve all their problems' on these newfangled personal computers, with ideas from his earlier exposure to mainframes. So he gave the spec to the IT manager and described what he wanted. When he finished explaining, the IT manager looked at him puzzled and asked "So you want Lotus?"
