You're not serious I hope? While these apps have some basic functionality, they would not work in the modern world. Even collaborating has become so much better (remember all the emails in the mid 2000s "CAN WHOEVER HAS OPENED REPORT.XLS PLEASE CLOSE IT SO I CAN EDIT" :). And that was already a huge improvement on the Lotus 1-2-3 days. Now we can seamlessly collaborate on the same document.
Sometimes I'm genuinely surprised we got so much work done then. Things are so much more efficient now.
