The phrase “single use” is doing some heavy lifting there, and I have no idea why that particular product is made to be patient zero for this. A pen presumably gets hundreds or thousands of uses, depending on how you count. For example, one

I taught Lotus 1-2-3 for a while, so probably had well above average familiarity with it. And then in 1987, I opened Excel 1.0 on a Mac SE for the first time. Was blown away at how elegant that felt. Later versions seemed to loose that ori
