|THE unLEARNING FOUNDATION COMPUTER CATALOG


|SUPPLIES TO MAKE COMPUTING EASIER & MORE FUN!

  Please note:  Once you have purchased this catalog, we will
  automatically send you the latest upgrades to this catalog
  ABSOLUTELY FREE each time we update it, approximately once every few
  months.  There is nothing more you have to do to get it.


  We specialize in computer HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE and ACCESSORIES that
  we have tested and know to be the best in their categories.  You
  won't find a huge number of items because, frankly, there aren't
  that many products that truly offer the quality and
  price/performance that we expect.  Therefore, when you order a part,
  a program or a system from us, you can rest assured that it will
  last a long time and that it will perform as intended.  If not, you
  will get your money back.

   WE ALSO GUARANTEE THE LOWEST PRICES ON ANY OF THESE ITEMS.

   800-228-6324

  IF YOU DON'T FIND WHAT YOU WANT - GIVE US A CALL!  Chances are we
  can find it for you at the price you want to pay, whether hardware
  or software.  AND WE WILL NOT BE UNDERSOLD.  WE WILL BEAT ANY
  ADVERTISED PRICE - ON ANY COMPUTER PRODUCT.

  CATEGORY ONE - HARDWARE

  80386/25 & 33 MZ

   The best configuration is with 120 MB Hard Drive (We use only
   Quantum or Connor Drives, they are faster and the most reliable
   of any other hard drive on the market!), VGA Color Monitor,
   Trackball or Mouse, 4 MB RAM (runs Windows great), 2400 BD
   Fax/Modem, (the best new communications device in years!) 1.2 MB
   and 1.4 MB Floppies.

  This is the best system on the market today!  We use the best
  drives and most compatible BIOS and supporting chipsets.  We use it
  for all our business and personal software.  The great thing about a
   '386 or '486 is that you can run several programs at once
   (multi-tasking) or Network as a server.  You can have up to 16
   Gigabytes of storage directly accessable in one partition and 64
   Megabytes of memory.  The speed of these machines is astounding.
   We have a 100,000 record database that we can search and/or sort
   three or four different ways in less than TWO SECONDS!

  We also include about $1,000.00 worth of Free Software that will
   help you do just about anything you want, WORD PROCESSING,
   DATABASE MANAGEMENT, SPREADSHEET, ACCOUNTING, DESKTOP
   PUBLISHING, CAD, MUSIC, GAMES, EDUCATIONAL, ETC.  We will even
   custom configure the software or hardware so that it will be
   best suited to your tasks.  It will boot up to a menu system, so
   it's the easiest to learn and use.

  All our systems come with the latest version of DOS which now allows
  us to put all our software on a simple menu that pops up when you
  turn on the machine and also has ON-LINE HELP for all commands as
  well as many other new features.

  Total price as configured .............................. CALL
  {prices change constantly}

   We promise a price competitive with any other source and with the
   added guarantee that our components are SIMPLY THE BEST!
   {{{In fact, we GUARANTEE to beat any advertised price on a
   similar configuration.}}}


  80286/12 configured as above can also be purchased at great savings.
   Great home system or for kids in college or Network
   workstations.

  80486/50 can also be purchased as configured above or customized for
  your needs.  This machine would be appropriate if you are going to
  need it as a central file server in a network.  It's way too
  powerful for home use or single-user applications.  At the current
  time, a '386 is the best choice for any single user application
  because the price performance ratio is the highest of any system on
  the market today.  This catalog is dated mid-1991.

  We also have portables that we have designed for use as a Desktop or
  portable so that you can take your work to the office or on
  vacation.

  We use better monitors than most of our competitors so that your
  eyes don't go bananas on you.  CALL if interested in portables.
  Ours are styled in handsome wood cabinets and have 8 expansion slots
  unlike most portables that only give you one or two.  We can also
  put '286, '386 or '486 motherboards in a portable and custom
  configure any other devices such as light pens, fax modems, portable
  mouses, even printers etc.

   800-228-6324

 Call now for a quote!   You'll be glad you did.

  LASER RE-WRITE Floppies are now available.  They are great for
  companies with large databases.  Each laser disk holds over 100 MB
  of Data and is removable providing the user with unlimited reliable
  storage of information and programs.  They are also very useful for
  home computers because they can provide the home user with useful
  information that would not normally fit on a typical hard drive. And
  they can hold plenty of graphics so the products like Encyclopedias
  and large multi-media packages are now available.

  And the prices are extremely low FINALLY!

  Custom Portables as low as $800.00

  Notebook computers and laptops are also getting better and better in
  the price performance ratio.  Call us if you need small computing
  systems.  We can even put a small computer AND A PRINTER inside a
  briefcase today.  These are even more powerful when you consider
  computing on the road and then getting information from your desktop
  computer via the phone lines.  This is great fun and now as easy as
  eating a bag of potato chips.  (Bet you can't eat just one.)


  NETWORKING

  800-228-6324

  As we prepared this catalog there are basically three computer
  network standards developing out there.  Novell is the largest
  installed base, Unix or Zenix is second and peer-to-peer systems
  like Lantastic is third.  Each one is best-suited for different
  kinds of offices.  Novell or Unix is the best choice where there is
  a large corporation with hundreds of computers of different makes
  and where there may be a need to interface with a Mainframe or Mini
  computer.

  Peer-to-Peer systems are the best choice when there is a small
  office of, say, attorneys or property managers, contractors,
  architects, real estate people, distributers, retailers, or any
  other kind of small business where there is less than 20 or 30
  computers that may need to be networked.  Lantastic is less
  expensive than Novell and is simpler to operate and maintain and it
  has a new Windows front end that makes it much more enjoyable and
  productive for most people because it will be able to utilize the
  all the wonderful Windows based programs on the market, whereas
  Novell cannot at the present.


  With all networks you can also use E-mail to communicate with
   everyone in the company.  You can co-ordinate your calendars,
   brainstorm, plan meetings, and most importantly break the work
   load down so that you use your computers more efficiently.  You
   can also work in teams or work groups and there will be new
   software coming that helps you to work in this way.

   There is also a new category of software growing rapidly known
   as GROUPWARE.

   These are programs that run on a network and allow everyone in
   the company to be aware of project deadline and to update the
   project managers as to their individual progress.  This allows
   for a smooth delegation of responsibility since the project
   manager can see graphically on a calendar report exactly how
   each individual, or project is doing.

   There is also a new group of programs that allow the employees
   to communicate with one another in a 'BRAINSTORMING' technique.
   This is now being used by progressive companies to keep
   employees involved and interested in the company and the
   directions it takes.

   Accounting programs are now being re-designed for multi-user
   networks so that the labor can be broken down and then
   reassembled in a meaningful way.

   For all these reasons and more.

   NETWORKS ARE DEFINITELY THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE!  If you network,
   you will find, you are saving money on software purchases and
   you are distributing the work around the office more
   effectively.  Your company can thrive with a Network IF THE
   NETWORK HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE IS CUSTOMIZED FOR YOUR USE.

   Many of our customers have been able to cut their payroll by
   several people and actually increase productivity by installing
   a network.  The key is having the right network and database
   management software and communications software for your
   business!  We can guarantee that you will have the correct
   network.  We never sell something we don't think you need.

   \\\  THERE ARE SEVERAL BENEFITS OF BUYING A NETWORK INSTALLATION FROM
   US. ///


   800-228-6324

   1. If you purchase a network from us, we will train, install,
   and give you a maintenance agreement so that if anything goes
   wrong, we will fix it within 24 hours.  This kind of service is
   very important with a network because your entire company can
   become dependent on one product that might cost only 100.00 but
   which has failed.  We will find out what it is and fix it within
   24 hours no matter what it is.  No one else can offer all this.

   2.  All of our networks are bundled with financial software that
   will pay for the system.  We include a program that can show you
   how to make 20% - 30% per year in the stock market with no risk.
   We include a financial calculator that will help you analyze any
   kind of Real Estate Investment.  And we provide you with several
   databases of information that will allow you to manage your
   personal or business portfolio better than any broker or agent
   can do for you and without commissions.  We have a database of
   650 government agencies that will help you find financing,
   consult with you on any topic, arrange import/export licenses,
   etc.  We give you a database of all the AT&T toll free listings
   in the country so you and anyone on the network will save money
   on phone bills.  Several other databases are in process.  By the
   time you review this catalog we will probably have added more
   software that will allow your computer or computer network to
   pay for itself in a few months.  If you manage your retirement
   funds and you want to retire a millionaire early in life, or if
   you want to become financially independenet in Real Estate,
   buying a computer or network from us will help get you there.

   3.  We also include software that will keep the information on
   your network secure.  Networks do much for a business, but they
   can also provide you with a problem.  Suddenly, everyone in your
   company has access to your private files.  (Some of the personal
   financial information in the previous section, for instance.) To
   solve this problem we include security software that makes it
   impossible for anyone to read any of your private files, unless
   you allow them to.  And we also include Virus protection
   software that will prevent any of your employees from attempting
   to load software onto the Network that has not been approved by
   you and which has not been virus checked.

   We are the only Network consultants who do all this to ensure
   that your business will run smoothly and efficiently after
   installing our network.

   4.  We also are one of the very few companies who can customize
   a database management program for your Network.  There is a new
   wave of database management software called CLIENT/SERVER
   databases that makes your network function far more efficiently.
   Most software on the market today does not utilize CLIENT/SERVER
   technology which means that they use an older method of
   multi-user programming which is slower and not as reliable as
   CLIENT/SERVER BASED APPLICATIONS.  Unless you are using
   Client/server programs, you are wasting a great deal of your
   companies time as people duplicate their efforts and lose files
   because of the complexity of the network.


   800-228-6324

   A customized database management program solves all of this
   confusion as everyone has access to the same - AND MOST CURRENT
   - INFORMATION.

   We at THE CUTTING EDGE, specialize in customizing database
  management systems that will allow your company to grow without
   losing your investment in your present hardware and/or software.
   With products like Oracle and Foxpro and Q&A.  So, if we develop
   something for you today, it will be easy to transfer this
   program to any other computer that you might buy, from
   Macintoshes to Mainframes.  Another advantage of customized
   Database management software is that you can modify it yourself
   because it is so much easier today and this means your system
   can grow as your knowledge grows.  Also, you can now set up
   these systems so that they mimic your current paperwork so that
   your people are quickly and easily trained on the new system.
   In other words, all the data entry screens on the computer can
   look exactly like the forms that you now use.

   WE CAN INSTALL, TRAIN, AND EVEN MAINTAIN YOUR NETWORK FOR YOU
   OVER THE PHONE LINES.  ALL FOR $100.00 / MO AND UP, DEPENDING ON
   YOUR NEEDS!!!

   WE ARE THE ONLY COMPUTER COMPANY THAT WE KNOW OF THAT CAN DO ALL
   THIS!!!

  This is what we do best at The Cutting Edge.  Give us a chance to
  prove that we can save you lots of money and make you more
  productive!  This means that everything you're now doing on paper can
  be handled by the Network database system, except that you can get
  information out of the system much easier than with any manual
  system.  This saves you sleepless nights and will make your company
  more competitive.  Many major corporations today are actually
  getting rid of their Mainframes and going to Networks.  A '386 and
  especially '486 PC's are more powerful than many Mainframes costing
  in the millions of dollars.  So, you can imagine what can be done
  when you Network them!

  So, give us a call if you're interested in networks.  Prices can
  only be quoted when we get a better idea of what you want to
  accomplish.  We are the best source for networks because we use them
  ourselves everyday, know how to train your people and can give
  support if something goes wrong with either hardware or software -
  an advantage few of our competitors can match.

  Let us customize a system for you.

  800-228-6324

  CATEGORY TWO - ACCESSORIES

  MODEMS &
  FAX/MODEM

  Send and receive Faxes in your computer!  AND communicate with
  Compuserve or all other BBS's with a 2400 BD Modem.  We include all
  software necessary that makes it easy to use!

  Today, there are many input devices like light pens, wireless
  mouses, microphones, even video camera interfaces.  Call us if you
  have a need for anything like this.


   New classes of modems transfer data at up to 57,000 baud. and
   they are now inexpensive.  They can also fax.

   Put a FAX board in your network and anyone at any workstation
   can send and receive faxes right from their desk.  No more need
   to get in line at the company's fax machine.

   Also printing to a Laser Printer can be shared by all on the
   network easily using programs from INTEL called.  LANSPOOL, and
   LANFAX.

   Call for more information.  Intel is now producing the
   best and most cost-effective Ethernet and Token Ring Network
   Cards.  Only about $200 per user for 16 BIT SPEED.  8 BIT cards
   now sell at this price.

   Also just announced - NETWARE LIGHT from NOVELL.  This is a
   peer-to-peer networking program for those who don't need the
   full blown Network program from Novell, but who might grow into
   it in the future, and still want to share resources, such as
   files, printers, E-mail, groupware, etc.  Only $99.00 per user.

   CALL FOR INFORMATION OR TO ORDER.

   800-228-6324

   MOUSES & TRACKBALLS

  Logitech makes the best.  Our customers like it better than a mouse
  because you don't have to move it around on the desk.  We also
  include a batch of software to make it compatible with any of your
  programs.                                          ABOUT   $120.00


   There is a new development in the world of faxes and
   communications.  Now you can use your computer to broadcast to
   all your prospects either a fax or voice message, then when your
   prospects respond, your PC will send them a faxed brochure thus
   saving you thousands of dollars in telemarketing and mailing
   costs.  We know of a company that uses this method religiously
   and has replaced ten telemarketing sales reps with one PC ---
   and sales have TRIPLED!

   If you have any product that can be mass marketed these new PC
   Fax boards are for you.  Prices recently dropped from about
   $10,000.00 to only $795.00.  Call if you have any other needs
   along the lines of automated telemarketing.

   You can also use these to set up multiple mail boxes for
   different kinds of calls.  Perfect for companies who do much of
   their marketing over the phone or by mail.

  SCANNERS

  Logitech again makes the best.  Scan pictures or magazine articles
  into your documents, newsletters, flyers etc.  Newer technology,
  higher resolutions makes the photograph look just like a photograph.
                                                  ABOUT      $299.00


   Logitech has recently introduced a camera that connects to a
   serial port on your computer.  It uses completely new technology
   to take a picture of anything you like and then translates this
   picture into a digitized image that you can then import into
   your newsletter, documents, letterhead or whatever.  At time of
   announcement, it was priced at about $800.00.  This will
   probably go down to the $500.00 price range within a few months.

   OCR Software can read the text you scan and puts it into a format
  your word processor can read.                  ABOUT       $99.00

  We've used these devices alot and it has saved us thousands of hours
  in data entry.


  MONITORS

  If you're getting the itch to upgrade your old mono system, VGA
  Color is the way to go, at the moment.  We can now get resolutions
  that make your computer look like a perfect photograph, with
  thousands of colors.

  Panasonic makes the best monitor today.  It's Multisync so you will
  never need another upgrade.  Our experience tells us it will last
  longer than any other brand.  We love Panasonic products.  We have
  very few complaints with this brand. So, it costs a little more but
  worth it.

  CALL FOR PRICING.

  800-228-6324

  If you're on a budget VGA Monochrome is my second choice.  You get
  the resolution of VGA but in a Paper White Monochrome screen.  This
  is similar to the look of a Macintosh monitor, but a full 14 inches.
  about    $159.00

  We also carry books and training tapes on all major programs.  We
  carry most every conceivable new hardware device.  If you want your
  computer to talk, call us.  If you want an expert system to help you
  in your business decisions, call us.  If you want it to read
  documents like magazines and newspapers and put the contents into
  your word processor, call us.  If you want to automate your business
  call us.  If you need battery backup or a portable or a program that
  will let you publish a beautiful brochure, call us.  If you want to
  use a pen instead of a keyboard to input your data, call us.  If you
  want to talk into a microphone instead of typing on a keyboard, call
  us.

  We at the Cutting Edge are dedicated to finding new ways of using
  computers so that our lives are easier and our work more enjoyable!

  Give us a chance to prove it.

  CATEGORY THREE - SOFTWARE


   If you don't see anything here listed that you're interested in
   - GIVE US A CALL ANYWAY.  CHANCES ARE WE KNOW ABOUT IT AND CAN
   OFFER A BETTER SUGGESTION.

   800-228-6324

   At THE CUTTING EDGE, we operate a little differently than our
   competitors.  We only sell software that we have used and tested
   ourselves, AND FOUND TO BE THE BEST AND MOST COST EFFECTIVE!.

   We do this because we find that there is a great deal of
   software that makes a good story, but when you actually look at
   it and use it, it does not deliver the goods as well as another
   program in the same categor.  There are basically only a few
   dozen categories of programs and yet there are thousands of
   programs.  Therefore, we have found that there are only a few
   best choices in each category.  These are the ones that we sell.

  In the following categories, we have listed software that we
  consider to be the best, not necessarily the cheapest.  But for your
  budget consideration we break it down into the best program in each
  price range.  This way you know that you're getting the best program
  for the money that you can afford to spend.

  WORD PROCESSING

   The best currently is Wordperfect, Microsoft Word and Symantec's
   Just Write.  They all run under Windows, which makes it the
   easiest to learn and operate and it also does most functions
   traditionally found in Desktop Publishing programs.


  If you just want to write a novel and nothing more, the next best is
  the Norton Editor.  About $100.00


  DATA BASE MANAGERS

  800-228-6324

  If you're going to be keeping a list of video tapes or something
  like that for the home, use a simple program like Zoom-Racks or
  PC-File.  Only about $10.00.  These produce simple rolodex cards on
  the screen for easy data entry and lookup.  And they do a few other
  things as well.  Zoomracks will even automatically dial a customer
  or prospect for you if you have a modem attached to your computer.

  If you need to keep track of inventory and sales and payroll and
  other business information, use Q&A.  It's the easiest of all
  database managers on the market to learn and use.  Only about
  $300.00.  The new version is even relational and replaces many of
  the high end database managers like Ashton Tate's Dbase series.

  If you need something very robust and powerful and you have some
  knowledge of programming, nothing on the market today is as easy and
  yet powerful as FoxPro 2.0.  This is a fantastic new program that
  lets anyone design a very complex database management system with
  only a basic knowledge of computer logic, NOT PROGRAMMING.  With
  this exciting new product, all you have to have is a logical mind
  and a good idea of what you want to accomplish.  This product
  allows you to create your own menu system and each menu choice can
  do whatever you want.  It's the best right now, costs a bit more
  than Q&A, but does a bit more, so it's worth it.   About - $600.00

  If you need a corporate CLIENT SERVER application for a Network,
  Oracle Server is the best because of the simplicity of designing
  programs and yet the power is there to satisfy all departments of a
  corporation.                  About  $1500.00 AND YOU NEED ACCESSORY
  PROGRAMS such as DDE exchange and the Windows front end.  About
  $300.00 each.

   WE SPECIALIZE IN CUSTOMIZING DATABASE MANAGERS TO DO WHAT YOU
   WANT THEM TO DO FAST, EASILY AND INEXPENSIVELY.

   800-228-6324

  SPREADSHEETS

  The best spreadsheet of all time is Microsoft Excel.  It has some
  automatic formula techniques that are dynamite.  Plus, since it's a
  Windows based program, it is the easiest to learn and use and MORE
  IMPORTANTLY, you can cut and paste parts of your spreadsheet into
  your word processor with a few clicks of the mouse or trackball.
  It's also the best graphing program.  Highlight a portion of your
  spreadsheet, click on the graph button on the menu bar and it
  produces the graph for you.  It's that simple!  I love this program
  and use it all the time.  It has no bugs, a great tutorial, and it
  even outlines for you so that you can expand or collapse any portion
  of your spreadsheet for presentations to customers or associates.
  It's about $400.00

  MICROSOFT WINDOWS

  If you don't have Windows, you should get it!  You need to have a
  '286 or above with at least 2 MB of RAM.  We prefer putting it into
  a system with 4 MB RAM.  This is because it actually allows you to
  EASILY AND WITHOUT CONFLICTS run several programs AT THE SAME TIME.
  It also lets you do things you never thought possible with just a
  few clicks of your mouse or trackball.  Windows is a must for people
  or companies that want to get the most out of their computers.
  There are now hundreds of programs written for Windows and together
  they make a wonderful and very useful tool out of a PC.  If you have
  never seen Windows demonstrated, Call us and we'll send you a
  demonstration diskette for $10.00 which tells the full story of
   Windows Computing.

   {THE NEWEST VERSION 3.1 TAKES CARE OF ALL THE
   MINOR PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED SO FAR AND SPEEDS IT UP BY ABOUT TEN
   TIMES, SOMETHING VERY NECESSARY.  MICROSOFT IS THE BEST AT
   KEEPING AHEAD OF THEIR CRITICS!  WE WANT TO TIP OUR HATS TO THEM
   AT MICROSOFT.  WE'VE SEEN ALL MAJOR SOFTWARE HOUSES AND FEW HAVE
   THE SAME DEDICATION, LEVEL OF EXPERTISE AND COMMITTMENT TO
   EXCELLENCE THAT IS CONSTANTLY DEMONSTRATED AT MICROSOFT.
   CONGRATULATIONS FOLKS.}

PROJECT MANAGERS.

   THE BEST IS ON-TARGET FROM SYMANTEC.  EASY AND QUICK TO LEARN

   And a newcomer.  Protraks.  Only $99.00.  Can also be used on a
   Network.

  ACCOUNTING PROGRAMS

  800-228-6324

  QUICKEN, the latest version prints checks, keeps track
  of all your checking accounts in a simple, single entry approach
  that you do not need to be an accountant to work with.  On the
  screen, it looks exactly like a check and check register, so
  entering the data is simple.  Yet, you can get a P & L and Balance
  sheet for your banker.  You can do your payroll yourself and save
  the money you now pay out to an accountant.  You can even have your
  checks printed and mailed for you via an electronic service that
  charges you per checks you mail.  My clients swear by this because
  if you print and mail more than 20 or 30 checks per month, this
  feature alone will save you lots of time and frustration.

  Quicken runs on any PC and there's also a Windows version.  Great
  program.  It wins the award for best program under $100.00 in my
  book.  About $50.00  NEW VERSION WITH PAYROLL.

  The new Windows version is fantastic!

  Couple Quicken with Turbo Tax and you can actually do your taxes,
  complete through to printing up the 1040, all supporting forms, as
  well as whatever state you're in IN LESS THAN AN HOUR!  I know this
  sounds incredible, but I do my taxes in under an hour every year
  with Turbo Tax and Quicken because Quicken produces a summary by
  category of all my checks and Turbo Tax puts it all into a format
  the IRS can accept.  In the near future, you'll be sending this data
  to the IRS over the phone lines which will get your refund back to
  you in half the time, AND ELIMINATE ALL THE FORMS PREPARATION
  COMPLETELY.          Turbo Tax   -   About $75.00


  Turbo Tax is also the only one I recommend in this category.
  It is the simplest to use and the best at printing all the
  government forms on either a dot matrix or laser printer.


  MAILING LIST MANAGERS

  800-228-6324

  If you don't think about mailing list managers as database managers,
  you should.  Even if you are mailing out to members of your church,
  there will be times when you want to send a special letter to people
  who contribute more than $1,000.00 and then you might design a
  different letter for people who contribute less than $100.00 and
  then another letter for those in between.  A database manager sorts
  this out for you and prints the labels and merges your letter with
  the names and addresses in your database.  This is what they do
  best.

  The best mailing list manager is Q&A because it has all the features
  you need to keep track of this list of people, inventory items,
  contacts, products, etc. and has the best mail merge utility of all
  the others in this category.   About $300.00

  Windows and Non-windows versions available.

  If you're on a tight budget Contact Plus for $10.00 does the same
  thing.  It's actually an electronic rolodex for ease of use and it
  prints labels and handles mail merge almost as easily and
  wonderfully as Q&A.  I recommend it highly.

  It even has an automated follow-up calendar and schedular as well as
  a good word processor for mail merge and an autodialer.


  EDUCATION

  There are now thousands of programs that help children learn.  We
  have programs available for about $10.00 that will help you study
  for the SAT or Graduate exams.  There are programs for Math and
  sciences at all levels.

  There are programs for adults also who want to learn how to write a
  screenplay, learn a foreign language, how to play a musical
  instrument, or learn how to build a house.  Prices for these kinds of
  programs vary widely so, if there's something you want to learn,
  give us a call and we'll find it for you.

  ENTERTAINMENT

  The same invitation applies to entertainment.  We have arcade style
  games like Space Rescue or Shooting Gallery as well as Board games
  like Monopoly, Chess, Bingo as well as games that emulate the adult
  games found in Las Vegas or Reno.  I personally love to play with
  Blackjack games because this has actually helped me learn how to
  win, most of the time, at the real thing.  It's true.  I never lose
  now, and most of the time, I go away from the Blackjack tables with
  a couple hundred dollars of the casino's money.  So, don't tell me
  computers can't be fun and profitable!


  INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

  If you are an investor using the stock market, commodity market,
  real estate market to increase your Net Worth, you should use your
  computer to help you make buying and selling decisions.

   COMMUNICATIONS

  800-228-6324

  The best communications program for Windows comes free with Windows.
  The Windows Terminal program is even easier to use than Procomm and
  has all their features with the added convenience of being a mouse
  driven windows program so all the cut and paste operations and
  communication with all other Windows programs is available.  Windows
  is about $150.00.  You can find it cheaper, but in our version we
  include several dozen programs that are designed for Windows that
  make it even more productive.


   Close up is our next favorite and is the best if you want to
   work out of your home and communicate with the computer or
   network at an office somewhere.  With Close-Up you can actually
   take over control of the other computer anywhere in the world as
   long as they both have a copy of Close up installed.  It's
   great.  Works fine and is very easy to learn.  Menu driven.


  Well, if you've read through our catalog, you now realize that we
  provide the greatest amount of expertise of any other hardware or
  software vendor.  This is because we have reviewed all the major
  software currently available and thoroughly tested it for
  compatibility, reliability, EASE OF USE, and performance!  We don't
  waste your time with software that we have found to be full of bugs
  or lacking in some other way, such as support or availability of
  training materials.

  From years of working with our customers we know that there is a
  wide range of abilities out there when it comes to computer use, but
  we have found that MOST PEOPLE DO NOT USE THEIR COMPUTERS AS
  EFFICIENTLY as they would like.  Because of lack of knowledge or
  lack of confidence, many people use their computers for one or two
  things and don't realize that it can be used for so many other uses
  that can greatly simplify and organize their lives.

  Thank you for shopping with us and AGAIN, if you DID NOT FIND what
  you wanted, please don't hesitate to call.  I promise you won't get
  one of those automated phone systems!
