While rooting through my office supply closet today, I found several boxes of floppy disks. Some were unused, and other had programs or data on them. Do you have a supply of disks too? Ever use them?
None of my current computers even have a floppy drive, so it’s unlikely that I’ll ever use the disks again. But, I hang onto them, just in case a client calls, asking for a copy of work that I did for them in 1992.
Microsoft Multiplan
At the back of a box of program disks, I found this copy of Microsoft Multiplan.
And if I ever have to reinstall the Multiplan program, the good news is that I have the manual too!
Multiplan didn’t have all the features that Excel has, but it’s too bad that they didn’t keep that Bar Graph number format.

Macintosh?
Yes, I stuck with the Mac until Word 6.0, then gradually switched to Windows. It was easy to do at that point, since both versions were the same.
I don’t have the disks, but what a trip down memory lane. I still remember the first time I was exposed to VisiCalc on an HP64 in about 1982 and was blown away by what it could do. If I remember correctly, “/RT” (Range / Titles) was the way to freeze panes.
