S <br />Conversion from <br />System/3 <br />Conversion to System/38 from <br />an IBM System/3 can be aided with <br />conversion utility programs. They <br />allow the user to do as much as pos- <br />sible of the conversion process on <br />his System/3 prior to installation of <br />System/38. These programs are <br />designed to make conversion <br />easier, faster and less expensive <br />and protect the user's investment <br />in software. <br />Growth with IBM support <br />Once installed, System/3$ is de- <br />signed to grow with your business. <br />New capacity and components—_ <br />such as added work stations or ad- <br />ditional storage— can be attached <br />quickly and easily, without recom- <br />piling existing programming to ac- <br />commodrite the new configuration.. <br />And most maintenance can be per <br />formed while the system continues <br />to operate. <br />Moreover, wherever you're lo- <br />cated—in midtown Ahinhattan or <br />mid-Nevada—you know that IBM <br />support is responsive. The IBM <br />commitment to customer service <br />goes far beyond simply suppl3•ing <br />hardware. IBM sta ys with you. <br />NVith totally new architecture <br />acid dramatic advanced functions. <br />System/38 can be an investment <br />that will pay dividends for many <br />years to come. 7b get the full story <br />on System/38-urd what it can do for <br />you, call your nearly 11311 General <br />Systems Division off ice.

A spade of silicon Icss than one-tenth <br />of a square inch in size, the G,1K chip is the most densely packed chip yet em- <br />ployed as a standwil computer component. <br />And i» the pr oevssing section itself, System/38 uses a logic chip with asp to <br />704 circuits— mote than 25 times the capacity of the processor logic chips ent- <br />ployed in II3l1 System/3. <br />But that's only part of the story. A totally new architecture, incorporating <br />-- advanced features new in them- <br />selves, was developed for System/.3V5. <br />— Through it, it becane possible to <br />shift some of the customary software <br />�i of the computer operatiiig system to <br />internal handling h y S , i/ <br />tr t t mI; . ysten 3S <br />li: itself In turn, the open ating system <br />took on functions that ordinarily call <br />for p•og►anntiers to write special <br />instructions. <br />System/3S thereby relieves pro- <br />` gramniers of much tiresome and re - <br />Pe <br />titive <br />e- <br />petitive teoi—L And the convenience <br />of compiling, testing and *'debugging <br />pttmat wl:strtrons—ntteac- <br />roas <br />tiVelyand in real time—can mean <br />j'• a gin etc r prole ammer productivity <br />and faster computing results. <br />Shom)t about sc cera times actual sire, a G#K <br />chip is depicted on.. a WPM- clip. <br />FINANCE OFFICER BARTON STATED THAT UNDER THE MONTHLY LEASE <br />ON A SYSTEM 3800, YOU CAN RUN IT AN UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME — 24 HOURS <br />A DAY — AND PAY A FLAT MONTHLY CHARGE, WHICH INCLUDES A SERVICE CONTRACT <br />ON EVERYTHING -IN IT EXCEPT THE PRINTER. HE NOTED THAT THE MACHINE CAN <br />GENERATE THROUGH ITS OWN INTERNAL PROGRAMMING A TIME USE RECORD OF WHO <br />USES THE MACHINE AND AT WHAT TIME. MR. BARTON RECOMMENDED THAT THE <br />OFFICES WHICH HAVE A VIEWER EITHER PAY THE RENTAL CHARGE THEMSELVES, OR <br />WE COULD GO TO A STRAIGHT CHARGE. <br />THE FINANCE OFFICER THEN DISCUSSED THE NEED TO SET UP THE <br />UTILITY BILLING SYSTEM TO INCLUDE THE NEWLY ACQUIRED MID—FLORIDA SYSTEM. <br />73 <br />000K 37 ajU <br />
