Its not mega byte infact its gegabyte (GB) or Terabyte (TB)

The average super-computer (saying that there are many) can hold from 2 - 4 megabytes or MB for short. Megabytes literally means "A large quantity of bytes.", I wonder what they will come out with next? One can only imagine...

... you're completely wrong, here, answer #1. Lets give this a look see. Normally, super-computers or computing clusters themselves don't have large storage units. Instead, they connect to a device which then stores the data. These can range from a few hundred Terabytes, to a few thousand, or more. In comparison, your average laptop can hold roughly 1/2 a Terabyte. Personally, I have a 2 TB drive in my home server. A Megabyte is 1024^2 bytes. There are 1024 Megabytes in a Gigabyte, and 1024 Gigabytes in a Terabyte. This keeps going on and on, until your reach higher quantities such as Zettabytes.

What was the name of the first personal computer spreadsheet application?

The first spreadsheet program created for the Apple computer is called VisiCalc. It was released in 1979 and was an instant success becoming the first commercially successful software program. VisiCalc was the first spreadsheet program to be used on a personal computer and was a major factor in the success of the Apple II. VisiCalc allowed users to create calculations and formulas as well as to store and manipulate data in tabular form. It was the first program of its kind to be available for a personal computer and was one of the earliest examples of the use of user-friendly interface and graphical display. VisiCalc was revolutionary for its time and was a major factor in the success of the Apple II computer. It made it much easier for users to work with data and calculations allowing them to create and manipulate spreadsheets quickly and easily. It also made it much easier to store and manage data allowing users to keep track of large amounts of information. VisiCalc was a major step forward in the use of computers to manage and manipulate data and it paved the way for the development of more powerful spreadsheet programs.
