Triptych taped Software for somebody who doesn't want to know too much about how a computer works.' That's how Triptych Publishing dcscribcs its Brainpower range, launched last week.The company's first six products each include a training and an applications tape. The training is in how the application works, not how the computer does. Most of the titles are straight business functions and the range overall becomes a guide to good business practice. 'Application through learning'. Triptych calls it. The approach is unusual. the relevant host micros— Spectrum, BBC, Commodore 64 and soon the Amstrad—are not the most expensive business machines, and Triptych's background is encouraging. The company and its products have been born out of the London Business School. [...] In demonstrations the programs looked impressive and the documentation was equally so. Stuart Armstrong, managing editor of Tritych, said: “I don't believe the screen is the place for large amounts of text.' Each pair of tapes comes with a ring-bound booklet which can be propped up and used like a flip-chart as you go through the program. It's a small point but a thoughtful touch. 
CPCrulez[Content Management System] v8.74-desktop/c Page créée en 554 millisecondes et consultée 2138 foisL'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko. |
