Wow I didn’t realize that. But I always thought it. I was bewildered that anyone got any real value out of any of that pre-VisiCalc (or even VisiCalc) computer tech for business. It all looked kinda clumsy.

(pre) VisiCalc: You have to understand that the primary users (accountants etc.) do not care about how a thing looks in their working process: If a tool helps them, they will use it even if its ugly according to aesthetical frontend questions :-)

(Think about this old black/white or green mainframe screens - horrible looking but it gets their job done)
