if this is who I think it is, Dan Bricklin, I want to chime in to say thank you for VisiCalc, sir! I was a user and big fan of your work.<p>for the kids&#x2F;newbs: effectively the (co)inventor of The Spreadsheet. and consider that spreadsheets were easily <i>the</i> killer app for the first PC&#x27;s, thus giving them much more business value, in turn causing more money to flow in, helping to create many more paying jobs, etc, in a happy snowball effect which leads to Linux, Google, AWS...<p>here&#x27;s where you might say, &quot;sorry, different Bricklin.&quot; oops
