111330 - The author reports that the Intel Architecture Lab (IAL) in
111331 - Hillsboro, Oregon is inventing, refining and promoting ways to make
111332 - PCs more useful. ref OF 1 line 32.  Is this where Intel is pursuing
111333 - the ideas Bill Rash cited in the Byte interview with David? ref SDS 1
111334 - 2744.

111336 -
111337 -    Rash:  People are going to really think through some of these
111338 -           scenarios of what people do, and what kinds of technologies
111339 -           have to be integrated into a PC to really make everybody
111340 -           more productive and [do] less drudgery work on their
111341 -           computers. And I think there's a lot to be done in the world
111342 -           of software.

111394 -    powerful ways to improve personal tasks which only personal
111395 -    computers can offer?

111397 -        Apple and IBM tried to do this a few years ago with TV spots
111398 -        but their PCs didn't deliver broad enough benefits.
111399 -
111400 -        We know automation must integrate tasks cited by David in the
111401 -        1991 Byte interview, in order to help most people improve their
111402 -        productivity, as explained in the New World Order ... paper,

111407 -    Is Intel promoting studies to show how PCs leverage the
111408 -    capacity to think, remember and communicate (ref SDS 3 line 527),
111409 -    so people who have given up on PCs can have new confidence to try
111410 -    again because better technologies have been invented and refined?

111421 -        People have a lot of faith in Intel.  Faith is a resource that
111422 -        can help people discover how powerful PCs can be.  It can move
111423 -        civilization forward by helping executives use PCs to reach the

111431 -        "This is how I make money.  Here I discovered a new opportunity
111432 -        from the correlation of these events.  I gave so and so these
111433 -        instructions, and here is where they were carried out. Here is
111434 -        how I got information in time on an important matter my boss
111435 -        asked about.  Here is a misunderstanding I fixed to avoid a
111436 -        mistake.  Here is my task to follow up to make sure it gets
111437 -        done correctly.  See how it is linked back to the problem and
111438 -        all of the information needed to do the work?  This saves a lot
111439 -        of time and money.  PCs can help you do the same."
