Since my last memo to you dated April 30, 1993, (attached), I have researched several other
options for a computer upgrade. I have a new monitor so I see no sense in purchasing another
monitor. All of the set-ups I have looked at are the full lxtckage, including monitor, nnd run
anywhere from $1400 up to $2700, not including installation.
HSCO has submitted a proposal, (please see attached), that does not include a monitor but" =
includes a one year warranty and local service/support. " ·
Following is a cost estimate for the packvge in HSCO's proposal: ...
Computer: 1419.00
MS DOS 6.0 59.00
Labor (est.) 165.00
Total 1643.00
You have suggested transferring the following funds to R & M to cover this cost:
Operating
Trauspomfion
Advertising
Printing & Binding
300.00
700.00
350.00
100.00

The hard drive is nmning out of mom Which makes, it .slow and short on memory.
following is a summary of the problems I have recently encountered with this mac, in_e:
It often freezes while I am typing. X have to shut down and re-start the whole thing in
order to get it going again, re-booting doesn't work. Anything that had not been saved
prior to the freeze is lost. I have set up an auto save feature so that I don*t loose as much
information at one time.
o
o
The response time is very slow, most of the time I am 2 - 3 steps ahead of the computer.
I cannot add any more words to my speH:'check dictiOnary because I am out of room:
I cannot work with'.tWo, prolpams together any more*' it says. *insufficient memory."
I cannot add any more prolpams to my computer because there is no room. I was chosen
by Avery to do a natiOnal survey on a new labels program for them but I couldn't do it
because I don*t have the room on my computer.
I have transferred all that I can to diskettes to try and make more room and I still get the
message "insufficient memory."
I would like to uPlP'dde to a 170MB, 4 Ram, 486DX w/$ s~" and 3~" diskettes. I can order the
this direct from ALR (Advanced Logic Research) for $1449.00. Mike Eady with Great Lan
Computer will install it for less than $300.00. Is there anywhere' we could get the money to
make this purchase?
