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.
