Comment Um... try 300th anniversary or older! (Score 1) 407
If you read the article, you get the impression that Dvorak thinks the spreadsheet is recent invention (30 years old). You'd think an old-timer like him would realize that spreadsheets have been around as long as the practice of accounting, and that they were going strong back at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. The only difference was, you paid for an employee instead of a computer to crunch the numbers. Yes, the speed gain in spreadsheet usage definitely increased its influence, but really... spreadsheets are older than John McCain (and that's old!)!
