Abacus: Sinclair QL's 80s Excel-like Spreadsheet Ahead of its Time 

In this journal entry I will take a look at Abacus, one of the four business applications, that resemble today's Microsoft Office package. These came free with the Sinclair QL, an amazing value for an already inexpensive computer. In the early 80s, other machines came bundled with less, where the Mac had only a word processor and drawing program, and the Amiga 1000 came with none. See me do some complex spreadsheet function that demonstrates this applications power and versatility.
