Burroughs B700 (1973)

 

If you have in the neighborhood of 25 to 1000 people working for you, you know this dilemma: small businesses need computers to stay competitive—but simply can’t afford computers and still stay competitive.
Burroughs ended the problem for thousands of businesses in this category with the Series L minicomputer and the small B 1700 computer system.
Burroughs now ends it for all such businesses with the introduction of the B 700.
Now—with a degree of simplicity and affordability that’s never been available from any source before-you can get big corporation computer results in small company proportions. And you can do it with ready-to-use programs that dramatically reduce the need for special computer knowledge and special computer personnel.
You can start streamlining your accounts the very day your B 700 is installed. Just choose the programs you need from the Burroughs exclusive Business Management Systems (BMS) library of ready-to-use software for instant management reports on inventories, account status, sales analyses, payroll, etc. You can either add programs as you need them, or choose a complete set of inter-related programs.
Data are entered through a simplified keyboard console, then verified and edited, automatically, by the system. A printed journal gives you a positive audit trail for your accountant or auditor. An optional AE 300 Audit Entry Unit is available for high volume data preparation.
Your business records will be permanently stored in disk cartridges—as easy to handle as phonograph records. You’ll have direct random access to all information—immediately —just like large-scale system users have.
And as your business grows, it’s easy to expand your B 700. Just add peripheral or memory units as needed.
With this new link between our Series L minicomputers and our fourth generation B 1700 small computer, Burroughs now offers the only complete line of computers specifcally designed to cover the entire range of small business needs.
Call your local Burroughs office and find out which one is right for you. Or contact: Burroughs, 18 rue St. Pierre, 1700 Fribourg, Switzerland.

America has very little Brains to offer the world.
These are the Brains we have to offer.

Now we’re offering our Brains to the rest of the world. We’ve got more 8, 10, and 12 digit read-outs than any of our competitors. More omni-constants. More percentage keys. More floating decimals. And an infallible memory that no mere mortal can match.

What’s more, our delivery word can be counted on. You get what you want, when you want it.

Cioè:

 L'America ha Brains (cervelli) molto piccoli da offrire al mondo.
Questi sono i Brains che abbiamo da offrire.

Il mercato dei calcolatori personali è uno di quelli con la più rapida crescita al mondo. E lo scorso anno negli U.S.A., dove la competizione è di certo molto dura, la Bowmar Brain ha venduto più di tutti gli altri messi assieme.
Adesso offriamo i nostri Brains al resto del mondo. Abbiamo più visualizzatori a 8, 10 e 12 cifre di qualunqe altro concorrente. Più omni-costanti. Più tasti di percentuale. Più decimali a virgola mobile. E una memoria infallibile che nessun esere mortale può uguagliare.
Offriamo dei Brains molto piccoli che stanno in tasca. E Brains più grandi per starvi sulla scrivania. Tutti con una garanzia scritta di un intero anno.
Di più, vi potete fidare della parola che vi diamo per la consegna. Avrete quello che volete, quando lo volete.
Per questo sempre più persone vogliono i nostri Brains.
