aaargh!  All you young programmers out there drive us old folks crazy.
Gee, there was a computer before the IBM PC?  Lotus didn't invent DIF,
it was promulgated by the VisiCalc people, Personal Software, who 
later became VisiCorp and self-destructed.  Did you know Dan Bricklin
wrote another program before Demo?  It's true, and Paul McCartney was
in a band before Wings.  Sheesh.
