The VisiCalc spreadsheet program. Up until it was released in 1979 for the Apple II computer, the microcomputer or home computer had been nothing more than a trinket for hobbyists and engineers. When VisiCalc was released, it make the computer into a useful business tool and it quickly gained popularity.
The first spreadsheet program called VisiCalc convinced many businessmen and Accountants that a personal computer could be a practical investment. No such software was available on larger more powerful (and more expensive) computers. Some of then even thought VisiCalc was the model of machine that they needed to buy!
