Sol. The small computer that won't fence you in. A lot of semantic nonsense is being tossed around by some of the makers of so-called "personal" computers. To hear them tell it, an investment of a few hundred dollars will give you a computer to run your small business, do financial planning, analyze data in the engineering or scientific lab — and when day is done play games by the hour. Well, the game part is true. The rest of the claims should be taken with a grain of salt. Only a few personal computers have the capacity to grow and handle meaningful work in a very real sense. And they don't come for peanuts. Remember, there's no free lunch. So before you buy any personal computer, consider Sol? It costs more at the start but less in the end. It can grow with your ability to use it. Sol is not cheap. But it's not a delusion either. Sol small computers are at the very top of the microcomputer spectrum. They stand up to the capabilities of mini systems costing four times as much. No wonder we call it the serious solution to the small computer question. Sol is the small computer system to do the general ledger and the payroll. Solve engineering and scientific problems. Use it for word processing. Program it for computer aided instruction. Use it anywhere you want versatile computer power! Build computer power with our software. At Processor Technology we've tailored a group of high-level languages, an assembler and other packages to suit the wide capabilities of our hardware. Our exclusive Extended BASIC is a fine example. This BASIC features complete matrix functions. It comes on cassette or in a disk version which has random as well as sequential files. Processor Technology FORTRAN is similar to FORTRAN IV and has a full set of extensions designed for the "stand alone" computer environment. Our PILOT is an excellent text oriented language for teachers. Sold and serviced only by the best dealers. Sol Systems are sold and serviced by an outstanding group of conveniently located computer stores throughout the U.S. and Canada.
