...cause of all the hullabaloo is a jaunty, cream-colored computer that will sell for $2,495. From the side, Macintosh looks like an offspring of E.T. and R2-D2 that might start walking. But the fuss is also about Apple, the company that likes to say it invented the personal computer. If Apple is to beat back IBM and continue the whirlwind progress that has taken it on a seven-year ride from manufacturing in a California garage to annual sales of $1 billion, Macintosh must be a triumph...

For such cases falling into this "first tier," advice on possible solutions and support may be all this is required to arrive at a satisfactory solution. The existing "safety-net" of tutors, proctors and advisors is in many ways ideally suited, structurally, to meet this need. Clearly members of this safety net must be trained and sensitized however, so they may provide adequate support and counsel...
