Dear All, I recently had the real pleasure of speaking with a person who works in the financial sector and is keenly interested in the history of spreadsheets. He has gathered a private collection of ~800 spreadsheet programs, including many versions of popular products, covering formats from ROMs to DVDs. Does anyone aware of any comparable collection of spreadsheet software? Best wishes, David .............. David C.

Dear All,

I'd advise them to check with NSRL.
Hi David LCM+L has a little bit of spreadsheet software, but nothing like this. Does this collector have a list? That would be remarkable to see.

Hello Fellow Spreadsheet enthusiasts, I still have all my notes from writing the original Reference Manual for VisiCalc. I could really use some help curating this material. Please contact me if you are interested in it. Cheers, Liza On Tue, Jan 2, 2018 at 8:35 AM, Cynde Moya <CyndeM@livingcomputers.org> wrote:
