Predators! Asset strippers??
Didn't Lotus buy-out Improv too, Chris? Still got my original (very
expensive) retail Lotus Improv floppies (1993) and the 'real' User

those were the days when the packaging was full. Improv always seemed (to
me) more intuitive than 1-2-3 and/or Excel. But then Lotus killed Improv.
Nothing new under the sun then?
