The following advertisement appeared in one of the munition
magazines:
The Guy on the Right Doesn't Stand a Chance. The guy on the
right has the Osborne 1, a fully functional computer system in a
portable package the size of a briefcase. The guy on the left has
an Uzi submachine gun concealed in his attaché case. Also in the
case are four fully loaded, 32 round clips of 125 grain 9 mm
ammunition.
The owner of the Uzi is going to get more tactical firepower
delivered -- and delivered on target -- in less time and with less
effort. All for $795. It's inevitable.
If you're going up against some guy with an Osborne 1 -- or
any personal computer -- he's the one whose in trouble. One round
from an Uzi can zip through ten inches of solid pine wood, so you
can imagine what it will do to structural foam acrylic and sheet
aluminum. In fact, detachable magazines for the Uzi are available
in 25-, 32-, and 40-round capacities, so you can take out an entire
office full of Apple II or IBM Personal Computers tied into
Ethernet or other local area networks.
What about the new 16-bit computers, like the Lisa and
Fortune? Even with the Winchester backup they're no match for the
Uzi. One quick burst and they'll find what UNIX means. Make your
commanding officer proud. Get an Uzi -- and come home a winner in
the fight for office automatic weapons.
