If I remember my history correctly, Visicalc was popular because it was the first spreadsheet application to offer the ability to perform ``fast'' recalculations on data. And I thought that it was only available on the Apples for a while. So maybe it was more of a desire to use a powerful (useful even) piece of software than a revolution toward ``Personal Power''. I tend to imagine that many users would have been just as happy using it on their terminal if it was available.
