First of All, Do You Really Need a Computer?

Article Abstract:

Commodities futures analysis has been revolutionized by computers. The power of computers has increased as their price decreased. In order for a computer to be useful to a trader it must be used in implementing successful techniques. Chart traders may find computer programming of bar charts useful. Other traders may not find suitable software for the type of program they require. Computer system set-ups can be time consumptive. Computers can be either purchased or time-shared. Time-sharing can prove costly if heavy use is involved. Computer familiarity is essential to competitive status in commodities markets.

What It Really Takes to Be 'User-Friendly.'

Article Abstract:

Ergonomics design refers to physical design. Ergonomical design of a computer includes a tilting screen, upper and lower case well- defined characters, and a power switch in front. The keyboard should be detachable with typewriter layout, clear labels and function keys in accessible groups. The operator should be able to access the disk drive easily. User-friendly refers to the ease and logic of operation. Menus and prompts are helpful but should be able to be bypassed or suppressed. An opportunity to withdraw a command such as 'Delete' is welcome.

What's Really Wrong with Our Job Training System and What Should Be Done? A Local Perspective

Article Abstract:

San Francisco Renaissance is a job training and economic development organization which trains low-income, inner-city youth. These young people (age 18-24) are aided into the job and social mainstreams. The program needs a greater emphasis on literacy, help with emotional and educational difficulties, and job creation strategies. More serious participation from the private sector, in terms of jobs, equipment, and training is also necessary.
