Computers:

Due to the wide selection and abundance of information and advertising surrounding the
Computer Industry today we recommend you refer to a trusted and knowledgeable computer user
for your entire computer needs. Depending on the extent of your computerization, the size, type
and capability of any system chosen should result from a professional consultation. Preferably
your computer equipment will come from one supplier with installation and technical support
included. The chosen computer equipment should be capable of upgrading in all the expandable
areas. The basic hardware system to be considered at this time would include the following
parameters.

14,400 Fax/Data Z-Modem
