What
is a
computer?
Not so
many
years
ago, the
pocket
calculator
we
now take
for
granted
could have
passed
for
a
powerful
computer,
worth
a
great
deal
of
money
Today
how-
ever, there
is
much more
to the
definition
of
a computer.
Computers
work
not
onty
with
numbers,
but with
alphanumeric
data-names,
words,
stock
numbers.
A computer
can
be
programmed
to
repeat
the
same
function
over
and
over
It can
log-
ically
evaluate
information given
to
it,
and act
on its
findings.
It
can
store
large volumes
of
data
for
future
use
or reference.
It can
converse
with
its
operator.
Obviously
a
computer
is
much
more
than
just
a
"number-
cruncher."
It is
literally
an
exten-
sion
of the
mind.
It is
to man's
mind what
the
lever
is to
his arm
-
a machine
capable
of increas-
ing
his
effectiveness.
It can
free
you
from
repetitive
exercises
which
do not
require
human
judgement.
It
can
provide
facrs
and figures
with
extreme
speed,

What
Can
a
ComputerDo?
Large
computers
are
well known
in
the
busrness
world
for
their
ability
to do
bookkeeping,
biling,
payroll,
inventory
control,
and
fast
analysis
of
data.
Because
computers
work
with
alphanumeric
information,
they
can
sort
a mailing
list
by name,
address
or other
criteria,
spot
slow-moving
rnventory
items,
write
purchase
orders
based
on

quite
a few
more not
mentioned.

TRS-80
rs a
small
computer,
it
offers comput-
ing
po'wer
that would
have
cost
more rhan
a million

a
few
years
ago. And

are two
TRS-80
