As a kid in the late 1980s, my dad got me a PC (an Olivetti IBM clone to be precise).

I distinctly remember that there were separate apps for spreadsheets (Lotus 1-2-3 [0]), charts (Harvard Graphics [1]) and word processing (Chi Writer [2]).

And now we just have a basic office suite for free in one website.
