Apple Making a Spreadsheet?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the only-a-matter-of-time dept.

Raleel writes "It appears that apple has trademarked the word "Numbers". Speculation is that it is a new spreadsheet. It makes sense with Keynote, Pages, and Mail." That would sort of fill in the last major hole in their lineup.

    Apple doesn't have a high performance virus distribution mechanism yet. It's way too easy to turn off "open safe files after download" in Safari and then all you've got to work with is social engineering.

    Also, wasn't there an Apple spreadsheet program previously...

    Yeah, I seem to remember this little known app called VisiCalc or something. It must have been a failure, because no one seems to even remember it here...

    Ha! You think "spreadsheet" is a PAPER related term? True, some kids were in the habit of using spreadsheet papers. Only because they didn't know REAL spreadsheets were written on papyri. But the REALLY REAL men used stone tablets and clay blobs.
