Computers way of life

The personal computer has
become less an oddity to marvel
at and more of a way of life.
Now featured at the PC-Expo
'84 Computer and Home Elec
tronics Show at Pershing Muni
cipal Auditorium are compu
ters ranging from models cost
ing a few hundred dollars to
machines priced in the thou
sands. Today is the last day of
the show, which runs from 10
a.m. to 9 p.m.
Philip Allendorfer of Com
puterland, 701 N. 48th St., said
the days when computers were
used mainly by hobbicsts are
over.
"Every real business is get
ting a personal computer," he
. said. "Businesses are becoming
much more sophisticated, and
the professional user is, the
fastest growing market."
Allendorfer said that while
about 80 percent of Compu
ter land's sales are to businesses,
the home market also is in a
growth stage.
"I'd have to say that the
home market is in an imma
ture state right now. But more
and more you're seeing people
who want to take their work
home at night, buying a per
sonal computer," he said.
Allendorfer added that home
users also are becoming more
aware of the educational pos
sibilities of a personal compu
ter. A thought seconded by
Penny Klug, store manager of
VolCom Computer Center, 1 4 1 4
OSt.
"With computers at almost
all levels of education, parents
are beginning to see the benef
its of letting their children get
more 'computer smart,' " she
said.
Klug said a personal compu
ter is a valuable educational
tool because of its variety of
presentations.
"Children are becoming so
much more creative with com
puters," Klug said. "While it's
an educational tool for them,
it's also like a game so it cap
tures their interest and keeps
it."
The PC-Expo '84, sponsored
by the Journal-Star Printing
Company and Pershing Promo
tions, is bringing computers
closer to the general public.
The expo features compu
ters and home electronic and
entertainment equipment Exhi
bitors include retailers, manu
facturers, vendors and com
puter groups. In addition to
displaying the equipment, semi
nars also are being given on
the machine applications.
Admission is $3.50 at the
door, but spectators are eligi
ble for drawings of computers
and home electronic equipment.
