Important Information Contained Within

[MM54]

The Hyundai Excel went on sale for the 1985 model year.

Microsoft Excel was released in late 1985 (yes, for Mac - Windows would come two years later with 2.0 in 1987).

Therefore, I conclude that the software was named after the car until proven otherwise.

Please use this information as you see fit.

@MM54

Okay, I see the Fit. How am I supposed to use this information?

@MM54 Most importantly, both were terrible. You wanted [a] Lotus.

@pos_camaro in both situations!

@pos_camaro The car company Lotus Engineering Ltd was founded by two guys named Colin long before the software company Lotus Development Corporation was founded by two guys not named Colin.

This guy figured out the lotus position long before either Colin was born.

Canadian Factoid:
Excel Gum was created after 5 years in 1991 after the Hyundai failed to accelerate and take Canadians breath away.

@MM54 it was an improvement over their previous model, the Hyundai/Lotus 1-2-3

@MM54
My cousin had one of those first gen Excels. She thought it was a decent car. I don't remember how long she had that impression.

@MM54 pictured, me using Excel 1.0.

[MM54]

@BritsnSwedes-was-MINIGTI Did you drive there in a hyundai excel?

[BritsnSwedes was MINIGTI]

@MM54 no Hyundai but actually I did take my period correct 1985 Jaguar and my 1986 period correct Mac Plus to run period correct MS Excel 1.0. Although I think the hard disk is a little newer.

@MM54 now there is a car i haven't seen in a long time.

@CB I assumed it would be a Honda
