Matabele, I think you mean Lotus 123 was exciting to discover, gave you a feeling of power? My moment of discovering that kind of glory was Electric Pencil <http://www.digibarn.com/collections/manuals/electric-pencil/>, which my Dad let me play with on his computer in 1981. I wrote two poems that I still think about. Four years later I found this kind of rush again, using a mouse for the first time and fill in pixels with MacPaint. I think it would be a lot of fun to gather people's "computer epiphanies", mind-blowing first encounters. TW wasn't the first Big Bang software experience for me, but it's the one that has been the most significant since the 1980's and it's the one that still delivers hits of adrenal joy.
