Office automation is proliferating, in large part, because the costs of "computing power" are dropping dramatically. The calculating capacity of computers costing $1 million in the '50s is today contained in microelectronic circuits costing less than $20. By packing memory and logic functions of actual computers onto pieces of silicon no bigger than a cornflake, electronics engineers and designers have been able to build computer-like intelligence into conventional office equipment. Silicon-chip technology is beginning to spawn such devices as typewriters that can recognize and identify misspellings, copiers that can memorize, store and retrieve documents, and dictation machines...

Instead of aiding the success of the show by bringing an extra dimension of realism to it, this aspect detracts from the show for the same reason Cybil Shepherd flopped on the screen: she could never play anything but herself in her films, and so her characters...
Once you've made a choice, get a written repair estimate (including parts, labor, and tax). Tell the mechanic that if actual repair costs exceed the estimate by more than $10, you are to be notified before any additional work is done...
