We discuss the suitability of spreadsheet processors as tools for programming streaming systems. We argue that, while spreadsheets can function as powerful models for stream operators, their fundamental boundedness limits their scope of application. We propose two extensions to the spreadsheet model and argue their utility in the context of programming streaming systems.
