It is called InvisiCalc. It comes with Invisi-software and "comprehensive Invisi-Documentation". The enclosed floppy disk holder is, naturally, empty. It claims to operate on "any computer system - even toasters!" Reprinted without permission, excerpts of what little documentation is included: The incredible atomic spreadsheet! Easy to learn, easy to use and amazingly easy to forget, InvisiCalc proves that there's more to accounting than meets the eye. InvisiCalc provides hours of fun - both at home and at the office - by solving your problems in seconds, and then letting you guess at the answers. Meanwhile it eliminates the need for expensive monitors, printers, document shredders and photocopiers to improve your picture on that unseen bottom line. In test markets across the Western Hemisphere, users have been lavish in their praise of InvisiCalc! "Beautiful! Leaves absolutely no audit trail!" - J.R., Buenos Aires "We used to rely on flash paper. Now we depend on InvisiCalc!" - V.C., Atlantic City "It's impossible to make a mistake!" - R.N., San Clemente "Deficit? What deficit?" - R.R., Washington, D.C. "Our P&L's never looked better!" - X.C., Braniff Airlines You can do things with InvisiCalc you can't do with any other software! (I left out the ones that can't be done justice without the gory graphics!) 3. Write on the diskette. This insures proper use of our "automatic dating" feature. Be sure to use a rusty ballpoint pen! 4. Store in bent condition. This ensures proper rounding! 6. Regularly run by magnetic fields. Better yet, tape it to your TV! This eliminates bad auras and vibes.
