Maybe I should write an article titled "How Lotus123 macros got me interested in programming".

I wrote such a complicated program that I found out Bill Gates was wrong: 640K was not enough for everyone. But I realized that I could divide my mess of macros into categories, save them in separate files, and then selectively import only those that were being used at the time with a "root" set of macros. I was 18 or 19 at the time. It was many moons later when I learned about virtual memory and swap space, I realized I'd implement my own version of virtual memory/swap. In a very caveman like fashion. All without messing with someone else.
