If I recall, that would be the old-ass spreadsheet program, if you're enquiring about stuff as ancient as LOTUS 1-2-3. God I still remember reading book on that when I was a kid. I'm not sure if it's still around or not. |

They got bought out by IBM, who still releases new versions of the now-rebranded software. Spreedsheets and word processing were the two things Lotus was famous for... dunno anything else. | |||

B&N still uses it and I wanted to see if I knew how to use it. It seem seasy enough to just figure out then I suppose. While I am here, what is (Microsoft) Access used for? I stopped using microsoft programs a long time ago. | |||

Microsoft Access is microsoft version of doing record management system. Equivalent competitors are Filemaker Pro and Borland Paradox to name a few. Lotus is currently most famous for Lotus Notes, which is a competitor to Microsoft Outlook. |

Originally posted by neotransotaku Notes also predates Outlook. When I saw this thread, I pulled an 11 year old issue of PC Magazine off the shelf that had "Groupware" printed on the spine. Among ads for things such as Intel's upcoming "P6" processor, the editors gave great reviews to this "Lotus Notes" application that did LAN based e-mail and other group management stuff before most businesses had Internet service. I saw no mention of Outlook, but I did see something about "Microsoft Mail". |

I'm POSITIVE I have some old WordPerfect DOS floppies on one of the shelves here. Those were the days... Of course, Microsoft Office pretty much dominates the current office scene with some exceptions. Maybe we'll see Google Office one day. XD |
