And what about businesses that use pcs for things other than spread
sheets? You can't generalize and say that no businesses need pcs.
I worked for many years where there was inventory control, all the list
of materials needed to build an item, accounting, payroll, product

central computer accessed by pcs. The product line was unique and
customer specific by model number so all the possible build models
numbers had to be computer generated.
