Company: Innovative Software (Primary: software suite smart software)<br />
Product: Wingz  a spreadsheet software<br />
First for the Mac, stupidest possible product, because there already was Excel<br />
They hired Leonard Nimoy for the ad video, because Wingz was all about the future<br />
They had a Wingz bag in different colors , which was awarded laptop accessory of the year one year by Jerry Pournelle (scifi writer) in the Chaos Manor column he wrote for BYTE Magazine.<br />
After two years the Wingz Software came out, also for Os2 and Windows and was very successful, up to 15% of the Mac market <br />
A special feature was that it could connect to databases<br />
