'Even so, it's not right simply to blame the developers. There's no doubt that modern hardware, especially the expanded memory space, makes things possible that were previously inconceivable: Excel's spreadsheet limit used to be 256 cols x 65564 rows; it's not 16384 cols x 1000000 rows and even the row limit is somewhat arbitrary.'
Rubbish. The Mesa spreadsheet was happily handling well over 64,000 rows on OS/2 in 1994. That many rows of data can be held on systems with small amounts of memory.
