EDITORIAL SECTION
EDiTORIAL
With this issue of the newsletter come many significant changes. The biggest one from
my perspective is that future issues will be handled by a new editor. I am just too
busy with my new responsibilities to stay up with both jobs. However, I will continue
to be involved with the newsletter in a consulting capacity.
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with all of you and appreciate the many positive
comments I have received about the newsletter. If you give the new editor the same
level of support you gave me, it will assure the success of future issues.
With that I will close since the real editorial this month is by my manager, Joe Potts.
He is a second-line manager responsible for User Group Support, Employee Sales, and
System Support. He will describe the changes we are making and introduce the new edi-
tor to you.

GUEST EDITORIAL
First, I would like to extend my thanks to Keith for starting this newsletter. He de-
serves a lot of credit for taking the initiative and creating a very useful and well
received document. It filled a significant gap and allowed us to defer the time when
we would have to move into this area.
Beginning with the next issue, the chief editor will be Hike Engelberg. Hike is trans-
ferring from the General Products Division in San Jose and will be resident here soon.
It will be his responsibility to coordinate the input, validation, review, and ap-
proval aspects of the newsletter as well as to plan and implement the future direction
of the newsletter. You may submit items to Mike for publication at the address or VNET
ID shown in the preface. Mike's manager is Hal Hanesworth who is also moving east from
GPD, Santa Teresa. He replaces Dennis Andrews as manager of the User Group Support de-
partment.
I see this first "official" newsletter from Entry Systems as being just a step in an
evolutionary process. There will be more changes in the future and we welcome your
suggestions for improvement.
A major change we have already made is the addition of a general information section
which includes usage tips and techniques, publication errata, and descriptions of re-
cent product announcements. This section has been reviewed by the ES staff for accu-
racy and we hope it will be useful to you. In this issue we have also included an
appendix which describes the update to the employee sales plan.
A number of people from outside the Entry Systems organization have helped us recently
in putting this issue together. Dick Dievendorff from Los Angeles, Jim Schumacher
from Burlington, Stan Rosenfeld from Santa Teresa, and Chuck Tribolet from Santa Tere-
sa have all been "on loan" to us for 2 to 3 weeks at a time over the past two months.

Their efforts are greatly appreciated and I thank them for coming and their management
for making them available.
I would like to also thank Stan Rosenfeld for tipping me off to the West Coast Computer
Faire. I was very impressed by the vast array of products available to the microcom-
puter user and by the amount of interest and product development concerning the IBM
Personal Computer. Because IBM did not have a booth at the Faire, I was wondering if
the IBM PC would get sufficient exposure. WOW! Our PC was the star of the show; about
50 to 60 IBH PC's were on display. Hany software and hardware products were being dis-
played and demonstrated to the crowds which seemed to congregate at every PC.
Finally, I would like to thank Mr. Larry Rosen of the Chicag.o ~1idtown Branch Office for
the suggestion he sent on improving diskette performance. Larry's branch manager pre-
sented him with a plaque recently that had a personal note of thanks on it from P. D.
Estridge, SPD Vice President and General Hanager, Entry Systems.
Thanks for your interest in the newsletter and keep your input coming.
