https://vid.me/UgNo Spread your work out how you want it with sc. There are two views of the main sheet (green), and two sets (yellow and blue) of other sheets. Data enterened into any of the auxilliary sheets gets totaled and sent to the main sheet.

Nice retro computing video. When was that from, 1980s?

I would say, expensive and weak computers ;p

They were more fun to use though. It didn't matter which computer you owned as they were all fun in their own way. None of us remember the long load times for disk-based games and how expensive the hardware was but we DO remember how promising the future looked.

I remember heaving to wait 5 minutes for tape to load 41kb game .... Getting first floppy drive was relief... computer with a GUI, yeah I couldn't afford it... then again, not until 1994 I really start to enjoy computers...

Until seeing my first Commodore 64 at a friend's house around 1989, I didn't have to suffer from load times too much. Every piece of software I ran was in a cartridge other than a few shitty games my cousin programmed for me onto a tape on the TI994/A. However, the load time of the Commodore 64 was painful but the guy had virtually every piece of software ever made for the computer and we were so excited by that that we didn't complain too much.

We're very much being pampered as it relates to load times nowadays.
