Table of Contents for Online Today, May-84 (vol 3 #5) [digester's note: Online Today is a publication of CompuServe, which is free to all of the people who have accounts on their system. It's a real, glossy magazine, with ads and everything. Personally, I don't like it, because there never seems to be any meat in the articles. But if you're a novice, it might be worthwhile. CompuServe also sells subscriptions to Online Today, for $24/year.] Articles: Welcome to Online Travel [travel agents, etc, available on CompuServe and the Source] Paving the Way for Public Access Videotex [machines being put in hotels, malls, airports... some free, some not... who knows?] Work at Home? Work Anywhere! [written by a guy who's bicycling across the USA, using CompuServe to send in articles to Online Today. I'm not sure if he has a real job or not.] Buying a Computer: Selecting the Hardware [with section headings like "Take a system approach", "Prepare for obsolescence", and "Avoid being a gadgeteer".] Reviews: Hardware: Sola Mini-UPC, RBS-AC, Power Director Model P2, Kleen Line Model PDS-11, the Microwroter, Micro 4 Software: Day One, Telewriter 64, Wordperfect, Query!2 and Report Writer, COINS [for coin collectors] Books: Your Commodore 64, Commodore Software Encyclopedia (third edition), Learning and Teaching with Computers, Practical WordStar Uses, The Computer Phone Book [which looks OK], Computer Buyer's Protection Guide -- JR (John Rogers) ...ihnp4!fortune!foros1!jr also fortune!jr and proper!jr
