`
`Manage your finances
`withJunior.
`
`When you sit down to sort through your
`finances, make it a point to have Junior with
`you. Junior will show you that you don't need
`accounting or bookkeeping experience to realize
`how much more easily and accurately you can
`manage your money. Wlth the IBM PCjr,
`you can convert a sea of statements, bills and
`receipts into concise groupings ofdara from
`which to evaluate your financial picture. ..and
`map out a strategy to improve it.
`
`Junior can provide you with a graphic picture of
`where your money is coming from-and where
`it's going.
`"spread sheet" programs such as
`Multiplan? for example, you can turn pour
`
`display screen into an income and expense
`statement, checkbook register, home finance
`journal, or almost any other worksheet-type
`document that uses a column-and-row format.
`You can categorize income and expenses into
`individual accounts for easy derence.
`Set up charge and savings accounts as well as
`expense accounts for food, rent or mortgage,
`utilities, travel, auto maintenance, entertain-
`ment, and more.
`
`Together, you and the IBM PCjr can devise a
`financial plan to balance your budget. For
`example, you can allot specified amoufits h r
`each expense account you create, and Junior can
`help you monitor them throughout the month
`and indicate if youke gone over budget.
`
`And while you're keeping a close eye on your
`expenses, keep yourself prepared for income tax
`time, too. You can record taxdeductible ex-
`penses at the time they are incurred, then call
`up a report whenever you need it.
`
`You can also broaden your financial horizons.
`With the optional internal modem- a compact
`elecmnic device that lets your computer com-
`municate over standard phone lines-that was
`specifically designed to fit neatly inside the IBM
`PCP System Unit, you can link Junior to the
`massive information resources of various com-
`mercial data bases. Track the performance of
`your investments-stocks, bonds and Treasury
`issues-and receive other up-to-the-minute Dow
`Jones* data with a single phone call.

`

`
`Get organized
`with Junior.
`
`The IBM PCys ability to organize and manage
`information can help you reduce clutter and its
`famdiar by-products: disorganized or misplaced
`personal records; indecipherable lesson plans;
`overlooked birthdays, anniversaries, and other
`special occasions; and more. With Junior to help
`you meet your information handling needs, you
`could become more organized, more productive,
`and more efficient.
`
`Maintain a complete computer file on just about
`anything. Using soikme such as ~~S:*FILE
`and
`~~S:REPORT,you can store, retrieve, update,
`revise and print out the kind of detailed infor-
`mation that would muddle a notebook or card
`file. Keep an orderly grade book, client listing,
`organization membership roll, or gourmet rec-
`ipe file.. .any of which can be displayed on your
`screen quickly and easily.
`Write a letter. ..or a term paper With program
`such as Easywriter* and Homeword? Junior
`can be used as a word processor, so you can type
`a memo, a shopping list, a letter, or even a term
`papet. Store your text, then retrieve and revise it
`at any time. You can then prmt your document
`easily with one of the optional IBM prinrers.
`
`Plan your day, week or month more efficiently.
`IBM PCjr software indudes programs such as
`'Iime Manage* which will help you keep track
`of engagements, appointments and assign-
`ments, and also remind you of important dates
`throughout the year, such as birthdays and
`holidays.
`
`Expand your information resources with the
`optional internal modem or an external modem.
`Either way, you can use standard phone lines
`to tie into the data banks of large informa-
`tion and service networks for news and weather
`reports, airline schedules, shop-by-computer
`services, and more. You can also exchange
`information with larger computers or other IBM
`Personal Computers. And, with the Personal
`Communications Manager program and a
`modem, you can even send electronic mail to
`simdarly configured IBM Personal Computers
`throughout the building, around the neighbor-
`hood, or across the country.

`
`Make learning fun
`with Junior.
`
`Add a whole new chmension to learning-one of
`fun and enjoyment. Junior catl act as a friendjy
`tutor in various subjects while failiarizing
`both children and adults with the increasingly
`important world ofcomputing.
`
`There is a growing library of educational soft-
`ware for the IBM Kjr. Currenr programs hwe
`beendesigned to reach children multiplication
`tables and other math skills.
`
`There are also educational programs that can
`keep pace with students as they learn. Logo, far
`example, is a flexible, interactive p r o m that
`provides basic lms.011~ for preschoolers and grade
`schoolers, rhm progresses to more advanted
`lesscms, such as mathematical, logical and
`geometric relationships.
`
`Several programs use an enjoyable game ap-
`pmach to learning. Adventuses in Math chal-
`lenges students to use m t h skills to explore a
`
`castle filled with various treasures. In Monster
`Math, thestudent comes face to face with a
`monster that can be erased from the screen only
`by solving a number of math problems.
`
`Many programs are designed for students at
`speclfic grade levels. For example, Bumble
`Games? Bumble Plot* and Juggles' Buttedy*
`use colorful circus figures and Giendly extra-
`terrestrial creatures to teach young children
`concepts such as leftlright, greater thanlless
`than, and SO on. Other programs are designed
`for high school and college students.
`
`As an added benefit, word-processing programs-
`such as Homeword and Easywriter-are
`ideal for writing essays and term papers, as we11
`as keeping class notes on file for immediate
`recall when they are needed. And the versatile
`Word Proof program will check spelling on any
`document that's been created and offer the
`correct spellings of misspelled words.

`

`
`Learn personal
`computmg
`with Junior.
`
`Every day, people are discovering how com-
`puters can help them be more productive, more
`creative, and more efficient. And as the use of
`computers continues to grow and affect our
`lives, it makes sense to know how to use a
`computer and to understand its functions and
`capabilities.
`
`Junior is ready when you are, with an array of
`software designed to help you become familiar
`and comfortable with personal computing.
`
`A "Keyboard Adventure" program comes with
`your IBM PCjr system. Wkh this program, you
`control the movements ofa friendly on-screen
`cartoon character who shows you how Junior's
`keyboard works. Also included in every system
`is a Guide 1'0 Operat2ons manual, as well as
`Hank-Oa BASIC, a step-by-step manual that
`teaches you about the BASK language and
`important concepts in computer programming.
`
`If your IBM PCjr has a diskette drive, you
`receive an "Exploring the IBM PC$ program.
`This program shows you how the keyboard is
`used for various applications and introduces you
`to the IBM Disk Operating System, the BASIC
`language, and the optional printer.
`
`In addition, there are several software packages
`designed to introduce you and your family to the
`world of computing. One such package is Turtle
`Power, an entertaining program that turns the
`dlsplay screen Into a "computer drawing board"
`and invites children to use the keyboard to
`create their own video art while learning about
`computers.
`
`"Bumble Games, Bumble Plot and Jugglei Burrerfly are
`trademarks of The karnmg Company.

`

`
`Have fufl
`with Junior.
`
`Junior is tireless not only as a worker, but as a
`playmate as well. And there's a wide variety of
`exciting entertainment programs for you and
`Junior to enjoy.
`
`Mine Shaft, in which you drive a mining car
`through a diamond mine and retrieve the pre-
`cious gems while fending off dangerous mining
`robots.
`
`The IBM PCjrS entertainment s o k r e includes
`games that take advantage &Junior's cartridge
`compatibility. IBM PCjr cartridge games
`include:
`Mouser, in which you're cast as a h e r whose
`house is overrun by mice; your goal is to
`de-mouse the house.
`Scubaventure, in which you control a scuba
`diver who goes aftet sunken treasures and
`encounten the deadly hazards of the deep.
`Crossfire, which puts you at the helm of a ship
`that must repel a swarm of hostile insects by
`firing missiles at them.
`
`But that's not the limit to Junior's game-playing
`capabilities. In addition to cartridge games,
`a variety of existing IBM Personal Computer
`diskette game programs can be nm on the
`IBM PCjr, provided your system contains the
`360KB diskette drive. These games include
`Adventure, Casino Games, Adventure in
`Serenia, Srrategy Games, and others. Junior's
`games are made even more enjoyable by vivid
`graphics and sound capabilities.

`

`
`The display. For display purposes, you can
`connect you IBM Pejv ro the B M Color
`Display, your own television set, or a video
`monitor* No matter which you choose, you'll
`be impressed by the vivid graphics. You
`can w i l y attach your display to the cormpond-
`ing connector on the back of the System Unit
`by using i o appropriate adapter cable?
`
`Optional devices. By wing the connectors on
`the back ofthe System Unit, you can add
`optional devices to suit your own computing
`needs. Attach joysticks, an external modem, a
`serial print% and/or a cassette player to run
`sofiware casette programs. Junior m&es it easy
`for you with letters that indicate each coMector
`to help prevent improper connections.
`
`Them is alsoan oopdonal System Unit attach-
`ment that allows you to connect a paallel
`printer to the IBM PC@, and an optional internal
`modem to attach Junior to a standard telephone
`jack. (A telephone is nor required.)
`
`*Telrvsionsets, y~deomomro@,light pens, cassette p l a w
`recorders, exrernd &ems and rhew adapter cables are nar pa^ oi
`the IBM Xjr syscem offerrn8 and musr be pmhssed separately.
`
`The SystemUnit. The IEM PCjr"s System Unit
`is where all the actual computation and pmms-
`ing of data cake place. The System Unit is
`lightweight, weighing less than nine pounds, so
`it can be carried wily. And its compact, low-
`profile design enables you to place it conw-
`niently on a small desk top, in a tight kitchen
`counter space, on a bookshelf, or wherever it
`makes sensefor ym.
`
`A lot ofcomputing power fillsthis compacr
`frame. The IBM PCjr has the $ m e advanced
`8088processor w d throughout the entire
`f ~ l yof IBM Personal Computers.
`
`Two IBM PCP models are avai Iable. The entry
`model contains 64-
`of user memory and rwo
`cartridge slats for IBM K j r cartridge pmgrams.
`The enhanced madel contains two cartridge slots
`plus a double-sided 3 6 0 a slimline diskette
`drive for diskette programs, This means you can
`use many ofthe pmgrams that arealready
`available for the IBM PC and IBM PC XT. The
`enhanced model also comes with the internal
`G$KB Memory and DispIay Expansion, which
`incrass user memory to 128KB and enables
`you to displq 80 charactersoftext per line on
`p u s display screen.
`
`The keyboard. The IBM KjrS typewriter-like,
`calot-cded k e y b r d enables you to cornmuni-
`cate with the System Unit. You have the freedom
`to work or play with Junior f m acms a table
`or across a room-up to 20 feet away as long as
`there are nb obstructions-because the keybozrd
`is cordless and communicates with the System
`Unit by sending infrared signals. An optional
`cord that connects the keyboard to the System
`Unit is also available if you wish to c o n w the
`cordless keyboard to an attached keyboard.
`
`The keyboard also features one of Junior's most
`us& b e f i t s . Every one a f its 62 keys is
`completely programmabk; that is, you can
`assign any letter, number, function or canmand
`to any key on the keyboard a d label the keys
`using the optional keyboard o~erlay. It'kposible
`to arrange the keys alphabetically, in letter
`groupings.. .whateuer suits your specific com-
`puting needs.
