Computers are particularly skillful at working with three kinds of
information:

      -- documents:  letters, memos, proposals, manuscripts,
         term papers

      -- lists:  name and address lists, itineraries, inventories,
         membership information, client lists

      -- numerical information:  budgets, tax records, sales forecasts

And, as you might expect, there's a special kind of computer program,
or software, that works with each kind of information.

You may even know what these programs are called.  See if you can guess.

action.

Unfortunately, we can't step into your home or office and help you
decide what application programs are best for you.

But we can show you how Apple II owners Harry and Nan Walker use a
variety of application programs to make their lives run more smoothly.

Hundreds of companies sell application programs so it's just
not possible to demonstrate each one.

What we can do is demonstrate the capabilities of AppleWorks, an
application package that is a kind of super program.
