Abstract
Chapter 1 of the Handbook describes, without unnecessary technical detail, how microcomputers are used and how to set about introducing a microsystem. It is aimed primarily at business and professional people who have no knowledge and experience of computers and who are looking for some guidance before considering the feasibility of installing a microcomputer, or before deciding on a proposal which has been presented to them. It also offers advice to those who have had unsatisfactory experience with computers in the past, and to those who feel a general need to improve their knowledge in an era when microcomputers are helping teach infants to spell.
