What a mess! You’ve just proofread your term paper and it’s got typos, spelling errors and misplaced paragraphs. Now, you can’t hand in a paper like this So no matter how tired you are, you’ve got to retype the entire thing. That is, unless you typed it on a Videowriter.® The Videowriter solves all your typing problems. Take the most obvious one: typos. On an ordinary typewriter it would mean a bottle of white-out and a frus trating interruption. On a Videowriter it just means press ing the key marked “delete.” That’s all. Because you type your work on a screen before you print it on a page. It edits. And how about those bigger problems like wanting to rearrange paragraphs? On an ordinary typewriter you have to “cut and paste” them. On a Videowriter you only have to press the key marked “move” and then indicate the area you want it moved to. It’s that simple. It spells. What happens when you’re typing and you come to a word you can’t spell? On an ordinary typewriter you have to stop typing, find a dictionary and look it up. Not so on a Videowriter. Spelling problems can be corrected simply by pressing the key marked “spell.” It counts words. If you’ve ever had a teacher tell you to write a thousand word essay, you know what a pain it is trying to count your words. On an ordinary typewriter you have to do it with your finger. But on a Videowriter you can press a mere two buttons and it does the counting for you. It makes multiple copies. From time to time you want a copy of what you’ve typed, right? Well, if you use a Videowriter you won’t have to go to the school library to look for a copier machine. All you’ll have to look for is the button marked “print.” Press it and the Videowriter will make another original. And because your work is auto matically stored on a standard 3 */2" floppy disk, you can make those copies whenever you want. It obviously does a lot more than type. That’s because the word pro cessing features just go on and on. What’s more, we sell the Videowriter® Word Processor for around the price of a good electronic typewriter. And that’s quite a bargain when you consider the amount of time it’ll save you. Time you can spend doing the work for your other classes. You would do that, wouldn’t you? © 1987 NAP Consumer Eleclronics Corp A North Americ an Philips Company Videowriter® is a registered trademark of North American Philips Consumer Electronics Corp.

Wcrclo aptain lo« KIDS € Glonville says Kelly's tenacity led to Bills' HOUSTON (AP) —The Houston Oilers’ own mistakes and the tenacity of Buffalo quarterback Jim Kelly were major factors in the Bills’ 34-30 last minute victory. Oiler Coach Jerry Glanville said Monday. Glanville also started making plans to continue the season if the NFL players union went on strike. “The only thing I hope is that each player honors the individual choices of their teammates,” Glan ville said. “I don’t think you should judge another man on what he chooses to do.” A player strike would mean going back to basics with new players, Glanville said. “It would be like going back to San Angelo (preseason training site) and teaching what we do all over again.” Glanville preferred talking about Sunday’s game, despite the outcome. “We had our chances to win the game and didn’t, that’s what’s most disappointing,” Glanville said. “We played some good football but we had too many mistakes.” The Oilers built a 30-20 lead with 4:58 to play but Kelly put together scoring drives of 54 and 80 yards to beat the Oilers on a 2-yard touch down pass to Ronnie Harmon with 54 seconds left in the game. “As much as he was sacked, hit and run over, he just kept on coming back and playing,” Glanville said of Kelly. “Most quarterback have been pretty well gun-si' fourth quarter.” The Oilers had hoped to home with a 2-0 record (®1S their impressive season oper- tory over the Los Angelf The Oilers rallied inthedosci utes to beat Los Angeles. “Now we know howLAfe ter Jay Pennison said.

I hope they respect each other,” Landry said. “In any (strike) situation, you have a number of players who don’t want to go on strike. There are always some hard feelings.” Cowboys’ players who have yet to announce whether they would strike include quarterback Danny White, defensive tackle Randy White, and middle linebacker Eugene Lockhart. Landry said he could field a team in three or four days if he had to do so with players the Cowboys have signed in the event of a strike. “We scrimmage the rookies after three days in training camp,” Landry said. “It would be just like rookie camp all over again working with somebody at 1 " tice field on Wednesday."
