Was this a thing? (Recipe storage being the "killer app" ...)
- WalterBright 2y agoIronically, storing recipes never caught on. It's just what people thought home computers would be useful for.

- ghaff 2y agoI have a copy of an old humorous computer article in a book to the effect of things that people thought they'd want computers for and how they didn't really play out (given the tech at the time).
- aspenmayer 2y agoThe popularity of cooking shows, especially cooking competitions/reality show hybrids seems to give some credence to that assumption.
