I believe I still have a few copies kicking about, DOS 5 or 6? on 5.25"
floppies. I actually fire up the 486 now & then, if I want to bang out a
quick spreadsheet to do some number crunching. I was really surprised at
(1) how fast the keystrokes came back to me when using lotus 123 and
(2) how much FASTER it is to use than using mouse-driven excel etc..
I loved those simple command macros in 123 as well, and I still use
PCTOOLS "disk revitalize" if I run into a corrupted floppy with a file I
need on it, it seems to still be able to fix them when all others fail!
