Description
This practical guide to the features and uses of the PC Convertible contains a wealth of information users won't find in the documentation. It demonstrates how to take full advantage of its capabilities and how it can make any task easier and faster - whether you want to perform complex calculations at a construction site, revise a spreadsheet while sitting in a car, or send a memo to your office through a hotel telephone. All the details on the available software is provided, such as Displaywrite 3 and Writing/Planning Assistant, plus forthcoming software, including a variety of popular word processing and spreadsheet programs (Lotus 1-2-3, dBase III and WordStar). It fully explains the Portable's communications capabilities, its compatibility with other PCs, and how it can drive a full range of printers, plotters and other peripheral devices. Also provided are full details on the system unit, attachments, options and accessories, along with tips on how to solve problems with your PC.
