🙏 Tks.. FYI..
Lotus the killer spreadsheet (killer App on the PC) the company that developed Lotus 1-2-3, Lotus Development Corporation, was a publicly traded company.
It had its initial public offering (IPO) in the over-the-counter (OTC) market on October 6, 1983.
It was later acquired by IBM in a hostile takeover for $3.5 billion in July 1995, after which it ceased to be an independent public company.
and when Excell on Microsoft came with windows.. Lotus 123 disappeared into oblivion. HIstory will repeat itself as those that develop software on the Ai "OS". just my view
