...harder for companies to produce error-free programs on schedule. The appearance of Apple's new Macintosh computer was delayed for two years primarily because of software problems. In late 1982 VisiCorp announced that a new software product called Visi On, which allows the operator to run and display several different business programs simultaneously, would be on sale by the summer of 1983.

...most balanced Harvard offensive display of the year took care of that, as Farley and Blair Wardenburg put the Crimson up, 5-4. A goal from Hart and from Rutgers' Liz Ferrara then set the stage for Farley's last-minute sealer...
This week at the photo industry's annual trade show in Las Vegas, Canon will promote its two most automatic cameras ever. The T70, priced at $450, features three computer programs that adjust the camera for particular situations ranging from fast movement to long vistas. A liquid-crystal display on top of the T70 can tell the photographer 152 different pieces of information about the camera, including the shutter speed being used and the amount of film left. The shirt pocket-size MC, $280, focuses itself, automatically advances the film and rewinds it at the end of a roll...
