PAGE 6, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 1985, "SALUTE TO PROGRESS", WHITBY FREE PRESS Computerland is a solutions oriented firm Andrew made coverage possible Andrew Antenna Company Ltd. is a manufacturer of specialized antennas and transmission lines. The local company manufactures micro- wave antennas for point-to-point com- munication systems, earth station antennas for satellite TV recep- tion, radar and navigational aid anten- nas and coaxial cables used for communication in tunnels and mines. Andrew, a subsidiary of Andrew Corporation of Illinois, U.S.A., was incorporated in Canada in 1953, and has its Canadian head office and a modern plant em- ploying 230 persons at the same location on Beech St. it has oc- cupied for over 30 years. A second plant manufacturng coaxial cables is located at Ash- burn. Products manufactured by An- drew can be found world-wide, the familiar Andrew "red flash" being visible in 140 countries as well as on towers and buildings right across Canada. Television coverage of the Mount Everest Expedition in 1982 was made possible using an Andrew earth station antenna located in Kathmandu, Nepal. An- drew has also recently been awarded a con- tract to supply earth station and microwave antennas for installation in the People's Republic of China and another contract to supply radar reflectors for Canada's Radar Modernization Program. The use of computers is rapidly becoming part of the everyday life of both businesses and individuals. Computerland at 111 Simcoe St. N., Oshawa, specializes in providing and servicing personal computers for both the businessman and the homeowner. Manager of the outlet is Rich Burtch who has 20 years of business ex- perience. Computerland was founded in California in 1977 and was the first major retailer of small computer systems. The company offers the product lines of such manufacturers as IBM, Apple, Compaq, and Talligrass Techno- logies. The Oshawa outlet opened its doors in 1982 and already has added 450 square feet to its facility. Burtch says the goal of the company is to form a world wide net- work of franchised computer outlets which would offer not only local ownership but nation-wide service as well. "Computerland is a solutions oriented com- pany," Burtch says, "The person who comes into our store and knows exactly what they want is rare. "Most people have some sort of problem," he continues, "whether it be a distributor who has a hard time tracking his inventory, a manager who spends long, tedious hours doing projecting and budgeting or an accoun- tant who needs quick, up-to-date financial statements for his clien- ts." Computerland will offer a potential customer a wide range of solutions to his problems after carefully determining what his needs are and the amount of money he can spend. However, after the businessman or the in- dividual purchases his technology, Com- puterland will still be on hand to provide service and maintenance and to answer any subsequent questions. "By carrying produc- ts from hundreds of dif- ferent companies, Com- puterland is not tied into one particular manufac- turer and can, therefore, offer a more complete solution and a wider range of ser- vices," Burtch says. Having a store front type operation is also a great benefit to the company, he adds. "Byoperating out of a store front we are trying ·to, make small com- puters more accessible to 'non-computer' people and allow - in- terested parties to look at computers in a relaxed, informal at- mosphere." Computerland's four employees - including Burtch - have between them over 30 years ex- perience in business and computer systems. They can help business and individuals make the transition into the computer age.
