operate Burroughs we i would like to comment on the recent let ters on the Burroughs word i have been operating the Burroughs system for about four i received the initial train ing course and have been on my own i Only worked with one other Type of word processor for a Short period of time the i cant justify any comparisons to any other in my own comparisons Are not in response to Burroughs so called gee Whiz i dont understand Why a gs35 cant find use for my present Grade of e2 Doest limit me from using these i also handle quite a Large sometimes spending As much As eight hours in the just on the word if you dont think this system knows How to your i dont know of a system that knows How to work without someone who knows How to operate i can honestly say that i know my system almost and i find it very user i believe that it is in very poor taste to judge this system without the proper knowledge of knowing How to use what Burroughs is doing to Correct prob or what is available with this system to make anyone Job Safe and Burroughs have taken on a big project and All i see is people com we Arent talking about just try ing to make one conversion from one machine to Burroughs has taken the place of a few different and Mak ing everyone Happy will take in the meantime Why dont we All Chan Nel our time to improving our knowledge of the system that we have to work with and make things easier on Safe and Bur so they can Channel their time in making everyone Job withheld Hahn Germany As a systems i feel i need to clarify some Points raised by the secretaries at Ramstein and the no from Sembach first of one must learn to read and prior to operating word proc Essing equipment at one install More than 100 personnel were trained by and after training was numerous operators could not fully operate their systems because of Lack of enthusiasm to learn something and reluctance to read the Burroughs operators in regards to the gee Whiz features of the Burroughs i feel these features Are As stated you need to know How to fully operate the i have utilized the Burroughs to a great extent and consider this system operates to meet the governments As indicated in the we and my expectations or exceeds it is apparent some people Are not in formed concerning the replacement training that Burroughs provides at a one operator per system per year whenever you depart from yes your replacement will be trained on the operation of your you can upgrade systems to make them even More All you need to do is Contact your base Monitor and ask Abou obtaining additional software for your sys a Job Well done i would like to write an open letter of appreciation to the manager of the Kalb theater for his flexibility to the great crowds that filled the theater for the show ing of the Beverly Hills this under extensive Strain from such a remained Calm and completely flexible to the needs not Only of the Community in showing an extra but also for the individuals not Only for but for Many i was really touched by your concern and your character is Cindy Thurman Germany concerning productivity on the Bur even if one changed to another sys tem other than people would still lose productivity with the changeover to an other vendors your Burroughs we is also capable of performing oper the same As other vendors equip the solution to this is read the books that were provided by if your office meets the governments re you can even upgrade Bur roughs to a you have to have a valid the Cost is As with other we has prompts that one must follow in order to As a user of other i had to use prompts to do the same As with the with the implementation of the single Vendor contract for it will save whenever you Are required to go try for example to another location within All that you need to do is take your Burroughs disks with you on your trip and utilize a Burroughs system at your try previously that was not possible As each base had different systems which in All were not compatible with the system you were using at your Home what mistake did Safe make i feel that he is not defending the product that Doest satisfy the needs of the they Are defending a product that does satisfy the users since Burroughs installed their product in Large quantities earlier this less than 1 percent of the number of equip ment was called in per month to Bur roughs reporting As the sys tems i personally received All Calls about equipment problems and took appropriate action to have their system Back in operation with Little or no inconvenience to the user and location withheld i was surprised Reading the last two let ters complaining about i thought everybody was convinced by if you look at previous letters to the editor concerning the same you will also find a letter from i admit that the Burroughs was a disaster for me at but after really working with the system for a few weeks i understood that its just a matter to look up ask somebody for help and be willing to accept

was too they wanted a five Day course shortened to two Days no wonder people didst learn what they the follow on training that is provided at sem Bach now will definitely help eliminate some of the nobody should expect to be a perfect b25 operator after a Lew weeks it took a Long time to learn All the tricks on the Cut As Safe is definitely saving some Money leasing one Cut 8525 just the system not the Printer will Cost about per a b25 is additional Man hours bring up the Bill but it is definitely individuals resisting to the change that Are causing this by the if Safe would give every user the preferred system our contracting offices would be out of if the one writer would have contacted his base a at Sembach before complaining that he has lost the capabilities of statistical we could have proved him As i i was complaining but now i am totally convinced that select ing Burroughs was a giant step i am sure Safe has some typewriters left to give to the ones afraid of modern and
