Which micro to buy? This question was directed to the Educational Computer Centre many times during the past year. A visit paid in August 1980 to the US. led to identifying two major trends.

Schools would be better onto supply shared facilities such as printers, plotters, mass storage and communication devices rather than buy microcomputers. On the other hand software development for larger computers with high revolution screens tends towards a conception which deals with a multitude of applications, all in one same manner: The outward appearance is one of fine print including pictures with one can work by simply pointing rather than by touching the keyboard. The time that elapses before these new ideas are realized and become profitable should be devoted to the development of application software for nation wide education.
