15 mb?

I was using Excel on the Macintosh for laboratory analysis as early as 1987. It could run on two 800K floppies. So, 1.6 mb. It had 80% of the functionality I ever used Excel for.

The version of Excel mentioned in the article was Excel 5.0 for Windows, that came out in 1993. No one is denying that previous versions were been smaller.

The old submission title seemed to indicate that Excel came out in 1993 and was 15 mb. Someone has since corrected the title.

I agree, shallow and pedantic.
