It was kinda funny as in the early to mid 90's I would be crazy to do a science lab on anything but a mac which had the easiest to use graphing and such. then corporate wise lotus123 was just entrenched by the late 90's but then the very late 90's into 2000 office just took over. maybe coinciding with win 95 becoming dominant. At least that is how it felt to me at the time.

Learns Lotus 1-2-3 and BASIC Programming in school.

Are they so different that you could not move from one to the other?

The spreadsheet programs, yes, once you've learned one you've learned them all, but I highly recommend anyone learning programming to avoid BASIC entirely just because horrible coding practices are basically baked into the language and the syntax is so dissimilar from anything else out there. There were a lot of things I had to "unlearn" when I got into C and C++.
