From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:

      {Vowel}.]
      1. Sound uttered by the mouth, especially that uttered by

            sonant, or intonated, utterance; tone; -- distinguished
            from mere breath sound as heard in f, s, sh, etc., and
            also whisper.
  
      Note: Voice, in this sense, is produced by vibration of the
               so-called vocal cords in the larynx (see Illust. of
               {Larynx}) which act upon the air, not in the manner of
               the strings of a stringed instrument, but as a pair of
               membranous tongues, or reeds, which, being continually
               forced apart by the outgoing current of breath, and
               continually brought together again by their own
               elasticity and muscular tension, break the breath
               current into a series of puffs, or pulses, sufficiently
               rapid to cause the sensation of tone. The power, or
               loudness, of such a tone depends on the force of the
               separate pulses, and this is determined by the pressure
               of the expired air, together with the resistance on the
               part of the vocal cords which is continually overcome.
               Its pitch depends on the number of a[89]rial pulses
               within a given time, that is, on the rapidity of their
               succession. See Guide to Pronunciation, [sect][sect] 5,
               146, 155.
  
      3. The tone or sound emitted by anything.
  
                     After the fire a still small voice.   --1 Kings xix.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   VisiCalc /vi'zi-calk/
  
      The first {spreadsheet}
      program, conceived in 1978 by {Dan Bricklin}, while he was an
      MBA student at Harvard Business School.   Inspired by a
      demonstration given by {Douglas Engelbart} of a
      {point-and-click} {user interface}, Bricklin set out to design
      an {application} that would combine the intuitiveness of
      pencil and paper calculations with the power of a
      {programmable pocket calculator}.
  
      Bricklin's design was based on the (paper) financial
      spreadsheet, a kind of document already used in business
      planning.   (Some of Bricklin's notes for VisiCalc were
      scribbled on the back of a spreadsheet pad.)   VisiCalc was
      probably not the first application to use a spreadsheet model,
      but it did have a number of original features, all of which
      continue to be fundamental to spreadsheet software.   These
      include {point-and-type} editing, {range} {replication}, and
      formulas that update automatically with changes to other
      {cells}.
  
      VisiCalc is widely credited with creating the sudden demand
      for desktop computers that helped fuel the {microcomputer}
      boom of the early 1980s.   Thousands of business people with
      little or no technical expertise found that they could use
      VisiCalc to create sophisticated financial programs.   This
      makes VisiCalc one of the first {killer apps}.
