The Computerfor People Who Think for Themselves STEVE BUCKELEW Marketing and Advertising Consultant "I bought m y Morrow a year and a halfago. Afriend and I began looking together. Then a friend of his, a chiropractor, pointed us toward Morrow. Morrow is one of the oldest manufacturers of computer components. They’ve manufactured for Xerox, Northstar, and others. Morrow had just what I needed at a price nobody else could touch. Plus, I trusted the people at AABACUS. Since then I’ve sent 4 people over to see them. They’ve all bought Morrows." 1 \ancy Chapman, John Hoppock, Steve Buckelew and Lee Emmett don’t know each other but they’ve got a lot in common. Each of them, after shopping around independently for the best value in a computer, decided on a Morrow. With its comfortable keyboard, easy to read display, free software and a price that leaves its highly advertised competitors in the dust, Morrow is hard to beat. In review after review, in industry magazines and consumer shopping guides alike, the name that keeps popping up, for reliability and value, is Morrow. But don’t take our wordfor it. Do as thesepeople did, shop around Compare it to the IBM. Compare it to the Apple. To the KayPro, to the Epson. Then visitAABACUS PERSONAL COMPUTERS in Tigard, and see i f you don’t agree. LEE EMMETT Owner, Typing Plus NANCY CHAPMAN Professor, Urban Affairs, PSU “I started using the computers on campus, mainly for writing. It’s so much easierfor me to write on a computer. There's no waiting to revise a manuscript. When I decided to shop for my own, I narrowed it down to KayPro and Morrow. A friend here in computer services had read some very good reviews of Morrow. Up to that point I hadn t even heard of them. One thing that sold me was going into AABACUS and seeing two of my PSU colleagues there. I've taken classes from AABACUS and gotten a lot o fpersonal assistance. They're very good at giving support." "I do computer word processingfo ra living. Most o f my clients are students. I Americanize the papers of foreign students, write resumes, some business letters. I've had my Morrow MD-j for one year. It's incredibly user-friendly. 1 hare computer phobia. The Morrow comes with a word processing program. Its on ■ screen menu of instructions and choices is easy to read. Someone who is not a programmer had some input in its design. What I do with my computer is an artform. I put out beautiful copy, with charts, graphs, etc. And when I'm through working on jobs, t ease out of work by writing letters to friends. I hadn I done that in a long time. " DR. JOHN HOPPOCK Emergency room physician "About the time / began looking for a computer. I was reading John McWil- Ham's The Word Processing Book, which in my opinion is the first decent book on the subject. In the book he mentioned what be thought were the best buys. KayPro and Morrow. I personally looked at 8 to 10 brands before deciding. The three key, factors in making the decision were the software that comes with it. the price, and the fact that / wanted a full sized screen. / couldn t see buying an IBM or an IBM clone. Why spend a thousand or two thousand dollars more than you have to? I can easily transfer data from my Morrow at home to the IBM at work The Morrow is the best desktop value for the money." and Software Data base. spreadsheets, bookkeeping.
