Irwin Taranto Trs80

With these five disks, I can turn your TRS-80 into a serious computer.

My name is Irwin Taranto, and I know what I'm talking about.

I've been making computers work ever since they had vacuum tubes in them, and I've put the first computer into more than 300 different businesses.

Over the years, I've learned a few things.

For instance, I've learned that the new microcomputers like the TRS-80 are really elegant pieces of hardware. The price is deceiving. Given the right programs, they can jump through hoops.

But finding the right programs isn't all that easy. You can flip through the pages of this magazine and find 50 ads for TRS-80 programs. Granted, a good many of them are for fun and games, but you can still find quite a few offering business programs.

They aren't like mine, though.

Four of these are the genuine Osborne & Associates systems, originally designed for the $30,000 Wang computer. I've made a few minor modifications on them, and now they work on a $4000 TRS-80. The fifth program is one I added myself.

Here's what's on each disk:

THE ON-LINE, INTERACTIVE OSBORNE PROGRAMS

Accounts Payable: an invoice-linked system that can calculate and print checks, make reports, and link fully to the general ledger. Accounts Receivable: also invoice-linked, it can keep track of billed and unbilled invoices, open and closed items and aging. It can print a statement and link to the general ledger.

General Ledger: this handles more than 1750 transactions on 200 different accounts and keeps track of them by month, quarter, year and the previous three quarters. Available with or without Cash Journal option.

Payroll: it keeps the files, computes pay and deductions, prints forms and checks, figures taxes, overtime and piecework pay, and prints the 941-A and W-2 forms

AND AN ON-LINE, INTERACTIVE TARANTO PROGRAM

Inventory Control: a custom-tailored program that looks after up to 20 sizes of each of 1300 items — a million items in all. It gives an immediate readout on any item inquiry, including quantity and dollar total.

These programs are marvels of efficiency. They're fully-documented, and you can buy the books locally or from me. On the Osborne programs, my contribution was simply this : I made them work on the TRS-80, and if you buy them from me, I'll make them work for you.

If you're skeptical on that point, call the number below and we'll give you the names of some of the people who've already bought all over the world. Then you can call them up and hear what they have to say.

These programs only cost $99.95 each. (The Cash Journal option on the General Ledger adds another $50.) For that you get the disk, all the instructions you need, and my telephone number. If you call, we answer all your questions and make sure everything's working smoothly. If your question's tough enough, I'll talk to you personally.

Because, as I said, I plan to turn that TRS-80 of yours into a serious computer.
