Before PSc - remeniscences by Tom Conlon Many people think that spreadsheets started with Visicalc on the Apple. Honeywell Info Systems (later taken over by Geisco) had a very useful (by primitive standards) spreadsheet called TABOL, and later ORACLE. But these spreadsheets operated without a mouse, or even a screen - all output was on paper.
