History of Excel functions

Hi, is there a way to find out the list of available functions from very old Excel versions? Like Excel 95 or even earlier. Just for being curious. 🙂 Support pages of today won't go that far. I would like to have a picture of the development path of Excel.

      I thought I would just want to get the list of functions of each versions - but now that I know Excel 1.0 is available, I have a strong and honest urge to get an emulator for that! 😄

        OMG!!! I was going through the different versions on that page and laughing about the references to floppy 3.5 and 5.25 but when I got to version 97/98 and saw the installation instructions I couldn't keep my laugh in:
        Release notes
        This is the standalone retail CD-ROM version of Excel 97.

        Installation instructions
        Step 1: Get hammer. Step 2: SMASH CLIPPY!
