THE HERALD Wednesday October Page Lifestyle Computer purchasers offered wide range of choices By SCOTT WILLIAMS Many years ago the decision most computer purchasers had to make was whether or not to buy from IBM Nowadays especially for those purchasing a computer for the home there are many large and reputable suppliers to choose from The Apple Computer Company arguably started the personal computer revolution with the in troduction of the Apple back at the end of the 1970s and beginn ing of the The Apple was an affordable and capable com puter It was fairly easy to use and offered colour graphics and sound Variants of the Apple are still available today and of fer many of the same ad vantages Many schools use Ap ple so if youre thinking of a computer for your child that Scott Williams COMPUTER CHIPS kJ may be a consideration also At the high end of the Apple com puter line is the Mcintosh The Mcintosh is the computer that popularized the use of a mouse as a pointing device

Chapter Order of the Eastern Star Mac offers a powerful system that is easy to use Commodore is another of the industrys pioneering companies Their PET computer with its tiny keyboard and its cassette tapes for storing programs brought the computer down into the price range of the average family Newer systems for Com modore include the Commodore 64 used in many schools and the Amiga a system known for its outstanding graphics and sound capabilities The Commodore still popular in the used market was good for games but has some limitations for more serious use The Amiga on the other hand can handle both well Although originally a product line with only one model Amigas now come in a fairly broad price range Atari long known for intense video games is a strong con tender for the Amiga Atari systems are also well known for colour grapics and sound but are not as widespread as their counterparts from Commodore Both Atari and Commodore suf fer from periodic financial troubles so it would be wise to watch them a bit before commit ting any serious money Many other companies have dabbled in the home computer market including Radio Shack who once had enormous market share and Texas Instruments who eventually gave up the home computer business for more pro fitable ventures When choosing one of these brands of computer for the home it pays to shop around and to visit stores that cater specifically to the home market Computer needs for the home are very dif ferent from the requirements of the office so it wise to speak to someone who understands And what of the IBMPC Well well
