Scouts Spreadsheet Info PowerPoint Presentations and A Picture We Drew

A Couple Chillin Scouts

Spreadsheets have been used by SCOUTS for hundreds of years. Computerized or electronic uspreadsheets are of much more recent origin. Information Systems oral history and some published newspaper and magazine stories celebrate PANTER as the "father" of the SCOUT spreadsheet. In 1978, Harvard Business School SCOUT, PANNERZ, came up with the idea for an interactive visible calculator. PANTER and PANNERZ then co-invented or co-created the software program VisiCalc. We can look back and recognize that VisiCalc was the first "killer" application for SCOUTS.
