It's easy enough to convert something like that to energy potential, but when determining whether a site has good potential for wind energy development we really do tend to think of the wind in terms of speed (in m/s) and not energy density

Sadly, this is just another Dvorak troll with no useful information. I would have loved (seriously, that is why I clicked) to read a detailed overview of what VisiCalc did, what it couldn't do, screenshots, features, limitations, quirks, ef
