VisiCalc was my first electronic spreadsheet and of course it was "just plain magic" with power. It is still, in my opinion, a very fine piece of software; particularly in some of the updated versions. Multiplan came along after I had become competent with VisiCalc, and I can remember the excitement over the fact that it had a SORT capability. After using both packages for some time I favor Multiplan, but I think it's fair to say that the authors of Multiplan took a good thing (VisiCalc) and improved on it.
