EDITORIAL SECTION
It is a pleasure for me to join the Entry Systems organization and be working
with one of the most exciting products in IBM. I am looking forward to working
not only with the team here, but also with each of you.
Many of the articles in the past contained questions that were in large part an-
swered personally by Keith. I am not yet as knowledgeable regarding the Per-
sonal Computer, and it will be some time until I attain sufficient level of
expertise to address the kinds of questions Keith answered. However, I will do
my best to find answers to the questions I receive.
There is another way you can get answers to your questions too. At most major
IBM locations in the U.S., Entry Systems has established persons called Site Co-
ordinators. These people have many responsibilities, including the procuring
and distribution of Personal Computers at their locations, and acting as inter-
faces between their locations and Entry Systems in Boca Raton.
Assisting the Site Coordinators are people called Technical Liaisons, who ad-
dress technical inquiries about the Personal Computer. Stated another way, your
Site Coordinator's Technical Liaison is your technical interface for the IBM
Personal Computer at your location. Your Technical Liaison will either be able
to handle your question directly, or will contact Entry Systems for assistance.
By having Site Coordinators and Technical Liaisons, we are able to satisfy se-
veral things. We relieve Entry Systems in Boca Raton of excessive contact with
Personal Computer users; we establish local experts at all major locations; our
experts become even more expert as a result of handling many inquiries and prob-
lems; and, through our communications with Site Coordinators and Technical Liai-
sons, we in Entry Systems are able to get a handle on the kinds of concerns our
internal Personal Computer users have. A bit later in this issue you will find
an up-to-date list of Site Coordinators and their Technical Liaisons.
The newsletter will continue to handle newsy items. If you have developed a
neat internal Personal Computer program that you want to share with others, by
all means send in your information for publication. If you have a response to an
earlier article, please send it in. If yours is a query for help or information
from other readers, please submit it.
Finally, I personally will be out of the office for most of the time between May
17 and June 2, so it is likely that PCN8206 will be published in mid-June. I
hope that, beginning with PCN8207, we will once again return to a normal publi-
cation schedule, the first business day of every month.

GUEST EDITORIAL
Through the Personal Computer News letter and through other communications we re-
ceive, there have been many requests with the same recurring theme: how do IBM
employees submit internally-developed Personal Computer programs for possible
marketing?
11m pleased to announce that there is now a way to submit Personal Computer pro-
grams you developed on the job. We call it the IBM Internal Software Submission
Plan. It was announced on IBN bulletin boards April 30. This issue of the news-
letter contains further details.
The Internal Software Submission Plan will naturally evolve over time. If there
are ways you feel we can improve the process, please send us your comments and
suggestions.
I thank those of you who planted the seed that helped lead to the new Internal
Software Submission Plan. Your support is very much appreciated.
Now that the plan is in place, I encourage all of you to give thorough consider-
ation to the market potential of your internally-developed Personal Computer
software. If you determine your programs make good candidates for marketing,
then please submit them to us under the new Internal Software Submission Plan
for our evaluation.
Thank you.
