I agree that improv deserves a chance in areas other than business.  I think
that improv was called a spreadsheet so that people whould know what
kind of problems that it can solve.  I think that spreadsheet may not be
the best title for this application.  With the exception of CAD/CAM I think
that improv is the single most impressive thing that I have ever seen a computer
run.  I have been playing and toying with it since it arrived.  I have taken a
break from the application kit and objective-C just to get to know improv.

Improv is good for the same kind of work that a spreadsheet is good for in
the same way that a dump-truck is good for the same kind of work that a
wheel-barrow is good for.  Improv is fun.  Neat.  Incredible.
