They'd been working/programming a decade! "By the time we created VisiCalc Dan and I had been working professional and academically for well over a decade."
also I found this interesting. "The Apple's screen was 40 columns and 25 rows. "
That's 1,000 cells.
And now a modern Google Sheets starts with 26 columns and 1,000 rows. 26,000 cells. But also can go up to 10,000,000 cells!
- WelcomeShorty 4y agoThe 40 by 25 are characters, not cells :) See: http://www.bricklin.com/history/refcard5.htm http://www.bricklin.com/history/refcard5.htm
- another2another 4y ago"I started to program VisiCalc in November 1978 and we shipped the first production copy in October 1979." Just one year. "In November of 1978 I started to prototype VisiCalc. We eventually shipped that prototype." Some things never change :)
