WATSON, WATCH US NOW!

For all the people who were complaining about lack of
applications software- here is a quick rundown of some of
what was announced today for the 3B computer family.

HANDLE Writer/Speller	An integrated word processor,
	spelling checker & database program.

Microsoft(R) WORD	The well known editor.

dBASE II(TM)	Specially modified for ATT-IS. 
	"Applications developed in dBASE II on any 
	microcomputer can be transfered easily to the
	Unix(TM) software format.

PC-UNIX Bridge	Allows the new AT&T PC and other computers 
	that use MS-DOS(TM) to swap UNIX* & MS-DOS* data
	files with an AT&T 3B.

MULTIPLAN(R)	The Microsoft spreadsheet.

Ingres	Database from RTI Co. that supports a structured
	language, an interated data dictionary, and allows
	multiple users to acces files through one central
	database.

And a couple of others. So quit your bellyaching. You
bought a system that was targeted for OEM and VARs in
March. Now in July you can purchase a system that is
more suitable for an end-user.

Now go find a retail outlet that will show you Context
switching. And dare to compare.
