ADVERTISMENTS ON YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN 

IF YOU THOUGHT ADVERTISING COULDN'T APPEAR ON YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN THINK AGAIN. AND, THIS TIME IT ISN'T THE JAPANESE WHO HAVE THOUGHT UP THIS NEW TECHNIQUE.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT IT WAS GENERAL MOTORS!

HERE IS HOW IT WORKS. GENERAL MOTORS IS NOW BE SHIPPING TO THEIR DEALERS (AND THIS AUTHOR) A 3 1/2 INCH FLOPPY DISK USABLE WITH THE MACINTOSH COMPUTER THAT CONTAINS MORE INFORMATION THAN YOU WILL EVER GET FROM A SALESMAN ON THE SHOWROOM FLOOR.

TITLED "BUICK DIMENSION" AND CREATED BY THE "SOFTAD" GROUP FROM SAUSALITO, CALIFORNIA, IT UTILIZES THE PATENTED TECHNIQUE I DESCRIBED SOME MONTHS AGO IN THE COLUMN ON "MACMOVIES" CREATED BY THE BECK-TECH DREAM TEAM IN SAN FRANCISCO.

BECAUSE OF THE HIGH DENSITY STORAGE ON THESE NEW DISCS INFORMATION THAT WOULD FILL A SMALL MANUAL IS NOW AVAILABLE TO THE VIEWER. THE ANSWER TO ALMOST EVERY QUESTION YOU COULD EVER THINK OF ABOUT BUICK'S 26 MODELS IS CONTAINED HERE. YOU EVEN GET MOTION PICTURES AS THE ENGINE ACTUALLY COMES TO LIFE SHOWING WHAT IS HAPPENING INSIDE THE ENGINE BLOCK WHEN YOUR CAR REVS UP AND YOU ACCELERATE. THEN IF YOU REALLY WANT TO TAKE A TEST RIDE YOU MAKE OUT YOUR OWN INVITATION AND TAKE IT TO YOUR NEAREST DEALER.

COMPUTER BUFFS CAN GET THEIR OWN COPY OF THIS PROGRAM BY WRITING TO GENERAL MOTORS IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN OR OSHAWA, ONTARIO.
