"Some of us saw the strike coming a long way off," says Lou Kovach, 50, a miner in Masontown, Pa. "And most of us were ready for a long one. I still bowl...
...spawning new computers in abundance, many industry experts believe, the chips will indirectly give rise to a whole new industry of "software"companies to develop and market the programs that computers need to perform their tasks. Explains Richard Melmon, director of marketing for Umtech Corp., a maker of home computers: "No one would buy a stereo hi-fi if he could not also buy records or tapes to play on it, and it's the same with computers. We soon will see the dawn of a whole new kind of publishing industry...
...readily be duplicated by simple electronic circuitry containing only a few transistors, resistors and capacitors. In computer parlance, they are called logic gates (because they pass on information only according to the rules built into them). Incredible as it may seem, such gates can, in the proper combinations, perform all the computer's high-speed prestidigitations...
...diagram). If other half-adders are linked to the circuit, producing a series of what computer designers call full adders, the additions can be carried over to other columns for tallying up ever higher numbers. Indeed, by using only addition, the computer can perform the three other arithmetic functions. Multiplication is often accomplished by repeated additions, division by repeated subtractions. Subtraction, on the other hand, can be done by an old trick known in the decimal system as "casting out nines"- taking the nines complement of the number to be subtracted and then adding 1 to the result. The operation...
