This is obviously a spam article created to drive traffic to a vendor site and get free advertising from Wikipedia.

I absolutely disagree and see nothing in the article that would justify the spam remark above. The company is long gone. The software is no longer available. However, Javelin played an important part in the history spreadsheet development. AlbertaSunwapta 20:25, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since there is no vendor site (and never was, since the company went out of business before the Web was invented), I don't see how anyone could drive traffic to it. --Macrakis 20:47, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd love to see someone put up some screen shots of Javelin - the video link at the bottom of the article only roughly shows its capabilities. As a daily Excel user today - I still miss many of Javelin's quite incredible capabilities.
