Abstract
Microcomputers have become more easily available in recent years thanks to improvements in technology and lower prices. Many biological research laboratories now have a small computer available for data analysis, enabling their staff to avoid long, tedious and uncertain calculations with the sole help of a pocket calculator, and overcoming the long wait for quantitative results when calculations have to wait until all planned experiments have been completed. Connection to a large computing centre, once the only way to achieve computerized data analysis, is not always convenient; it takes too long to get acquainted with large-scale system working procedures,usually not user-friendly, and the rates are high.
