...Once an obscure trade show, it attracted more than 22,000 computer buffs this year, and they were not disappointed. Some 250 exhibitors, from Apollo to Zenith, put their wares on display. Motorola rolled out a new line of workstations with up to 60 times the power of a PC. Data General may have started a price war by introducing a workstation for $7,450, far less than the typical $20,000 $ cost. Meanwhile, industry giants IBM and Digital Equipment were trying to rev up interest in their latest models. All these competitors are trying to knock off Sun Microsystems...

...there I was, sitting at the keyboard of an IBM PC AT, my eyes glued to the screen. Game or not, my pulse raced and my hands sweat as the MiG-25 came threateningly closer. Finally it peeled off toward Tripoli, its Soviet- trained pilot seemingly unaware of my 17-ton, coal-black aircraft a few hundred feet below. Apparently the F-19's array of detection-defeating * components, from the radar-absorbent panels on its wings to the nose cone coated with ceramics to minimize telltale infrared radiation, was working as designed. But I had also learned...
...laser disk built by Canon and controlled by a proprietary chip. The 5 1/4-in. disk, which will be the first of its kind to come to market in the U.S., slips in and out of the computer like a floppy, but holds 256 megabytes -- more data than 300 IBM PC or Macintosh disks. As if to underscore the massive storage capacity this represents, Next's disk comes loaded with software programs, operating instructions and four fat reference books -- a dictionary, a thesaurus, a book of quotations and the complete works of Shakespeare. Yet it still has enough free space...
Furthermore, HOLLIS has a few problems with its user interface. HOLLIS uses grody IBM terminals which do not have keyboards organized in the manner of the commonly accepted industry standards. Anyone used to an IBM PC or an Apple Macintosh will be surprised to find that the key she expects to delete the previous character does not do so. And there is no on-line help explaining the keyboard (what do these extra keys DO!?). Also, HOLLIS does not take into account what is surely the most common task dial-in users will be performing with the system...
