Then along came Lotus 1-2-3 and boom!

Yes, 1-2-3 killed Apple in the office. Our office standardized on 1-2-3, which was hilarious because it was inferior to others and quickly got obsolete by better programs. Even Supercalc was better, which I think came out before 1-2-3, features in Supercalc were incorporated into Excel years later. Those were crazy times.

But it was easy to use, had macros and it had GRAPHS!
