			  The Uzi vs. The Computer
			  ========================

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 attache 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.
