When I got started in IT in the mid-90's, it was working for an accountancy office. Lotus 1-2-3 was absolutely the main tool that was used.
The move to Excel happened, due to the simple fact that with every Gateway PC we bought as we upgraded from DOS based machines to Windows 95 ones, they were giving away Office Pro for free.
The love of free (as in beer) software was enough to move people from 1-2-3 to Excel, even though Excel wasn't as good or as stable back then.
