Amaya Toman Uma sicabanga ngespredishithi, iningi lethu njengamanje licabanga nge-Excel evela ku-Microsoft, Izinombolo ezivela ku-Apple, noma mhlawumbe i-OpenOffice Calc. Nokho, eminyakeni engamashumi ayisishiyagalombili ekhulwini elidlule, uhlelo olubizwa ngokuthi iLotus 1-2-3 lwabusa kakhulu kulo mkhakha, esizowukhumbula esihlokweni sanamuhla. Kuzoxoxwa futhi ngokutholwa kwe-Compaq kweDigital Equipment Corporation.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Ukukhishwa kwe-Lotus 1-2-3 (1983)
I-Lotus Development Corporation ikhiphe isofthiwe ebizwa nge-Lotus 26-1983-1 ngoJanuwari 2, 3 yamakhompyutha e-IBM. Lolu hlelo lwesipredishithi lwathuthukiswa kakhulu ngenxa yokuba khona ngaphambili kwesofthiwe ye-VisiCalc, noma kunalokho iqiniso lokuthi abadali be-VisiCalc abazange babhalise ilungelo lobunikazi elihambisanayo. Isipredishithi se-Lotus sathola igama laso emisebenzini emithathu esiyinikezayo - amatafula, amagrafu, nemisebenzi eyisisekelo yedathabhesi. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, i-Lotus yaba isipredishithi esisetshenziswa kakhulu kumakhompyutha e-IBM. I-IBM ithole i-Lotus Development Corporation ngo-1995, uhlelo lwe-Lotus 1-2-3 lwathuthukiswa kwaze kwaba ngu-2013 njengengxenye yehhovisi le-Lotus Smart Suite.
I-DEC ihamba ngaphansi kweCompaq (1998)
I-Compaq Computer ithole I-Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) ngoJanuwari 26, 1998. Intengo yayingamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-9,6 futhi yayingenye yezinto ezinkulu kakhulu ezazithengwa embonini yamakhompyutha ngaleso sikhathi. Yasungulwa ngo-1957, I-Digital Equipment Corporation ithathwa njengenye yezingqalabutho zemboni yamakhompiyutha yaseMelika, ikhiqiza amakhompyutha ngezinjongo zesayensi nobunjiniyela ngeminyaka yawo-70 kanye nawo-80. Ngo-2002, iphinde yangena ngaphansi kwephiko le-Hewlett-Packard ngeCompaq Computer.
