spread·sheet - other point of view
The compound word "spread-sheet" came to mean the
format used to present bookkeeping ledgers—with
columns for categories of expenditures across the
top, invoices listed down the left margin, and the
amount of each payment in the cell where its row
and column intersect—which were traditionally a
"spread" across facing pages of a bound ledger
(book for keeping accounting records) or on
oversized sheets of paper ruled into rows and
columns in that format and approximately twice as
wide as ordinary paper.

A Brief History of Spreadsheets
History of Spreadsheets is connected with
student Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston
Bricklin and Bob Frankston then co-invented
or co-created the software program VisiCalc

A Brief History of Spreadsheets
What came after VisiCalc?
The market for electronic spreadsheet software was growing
rapidly in the early 1980s and VisiCalc stakeholders were
slow to respond to the introduction of the IBM PC that used an
Intel computer chip. Beginning in September 1983, legal
conflicts between VisiCorp and Software Arts distracted the
VisiCalc developers, Bricklin and Frankston. During this
period, Mitch Kapor developed Lotus and his spreadsheet
program quickly became the new industry spreadsheet
standard.

A Brief History of Spreadsheets
In 1985, Lotus Development acquired Software Arts and
discontinued the VisiCalc program. A Lotus spokeperson
indicated at that time that "1-2-3 and Symphony are much
better products so Visicalc is no longer necessary.„
What about Microsoft Excel and Bill Gates?
The next milestone was the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Excel
was originally written for the 512K Apple Macintosh in 1984-
1985. Excel was one of the first spreadsheets to use a
graphical interface with pull down menus and a point and click
capability using a mouse pointing device. The Excel
spreadsheet with a graphical user interface was easier for
most people to use than the command line interface of PC-
DOS spreadsheet products.

Google Docs & Spreadsheets Tour


From Bryan Massingale, son-in-law par
excellence:
The main way I'm using [Google Docs & Spreadsheets] is to help
my mother-in-law. She is not very computer proficient and a
few months ago got a new job. One of the requirements was
to report monthly status on work she is doing. I ended up
creating a spreadsheet for her to track this information. The
problem is that I live in NC and she lives in WV. I currently
have two ways of working with her, neither of which are easy

Write „command” in command line; then write following:
copy con arkusz.xls; where arkusz.xls is the filename
