Mike - Great to hear from you. I very much appreciate the information and found the history extremely interesting.

Lucid employs a sparse matrix array, wherein empty cells use no memory. Therefor you can have larger spreadsheets than with Multiplan. The Super ROM version of Lucid is more up-to-date (sounds weird saying that in 2020) and acts as the underlying repository for the Super ROM’s Lucid Data database. The database is essentially avery useful “front end” for a spreadsheet. Thus, for every spreadsheet you have a database and vice versa. Also, the various apps on the ROM can interact with one another. So, give the opportunity, I’d opt for a Super ROM. Were there others with the same level of functionality? Not that I’m aware of. Certainly nothing that grabbed by attention. I was contracted at one time to write a 3D spreadsheet, a “Lucid Killer,” so to speak, as part of an never-released multi-function “Super ROM Killer” code-named Avant. I don’t know who was working on the other apps. Alas, the developer ran out of funding before I could finish. It was fast, and it was slick! Wicked fast scrolling, many levels of function keys, and, of course, 3D — sheets linking with other sheets, any cell could access any other. Anyhow, I hope this helps Best regards!

[M100] Spreadsheet Users?
Any active Model T-family spreadsheet users? Any preference between Microsoft MultiPlan or Lucid? Were there others with the same level of functionality?
