Can you remember the name of the first spreadsheet? Browser?

Visicalc

Talking to a friend recently during a walk in the mountains, none of us could remember the name of the first spreadsheet –  sic transit gloria mundi. After checking, it was VisiCalc by Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston, first published for the Apple II in 1979. Lotus 1-2-3 unseated it, in turn followed by Microsoft’s Excel.

Can you remember the first Internet browser? It was Mosaic, by Mark Andreessen, in 1993. Actually, it wasn’t the first one, but it was the first one I got to use at the time. The first one was, apparently, the WorldWideWeb, later renamed Nexus by Tim Berners Lee, released in 1993.
