When the Cambridge Z88 was introduced in 1987, it was and still = is a unique computer for several reasons.
For the first time in a machine of its size and portability it offers yo= u a powerful productivity tool, PipeDream, capable of tackling the most dem= anding applications and providing all the capabilities normally only obtain= ed by working with separate programs on much larger computers; it combines = in one program most facilities provided by the best word processors, databa= se programs, and spreadsheets.
To complement PipeDream, the Cambridge Z88 comes complete with a range o= f utility programs, designed to anticipate any task you might wish to perfo= rm in the home or office; these include a clock, calculator, diary and orga= niser, and an alarm reminder.
The Cambridge Z88 also avoids the problems of storing documents and appl= ications long-term by providing battery-powered circuitry which will retain= all the information in the computer for over a year while it is switched o= ff. The batteries also maintain the correct time and date in an internal cl= ock and calendar.
In addition, communication with larger computers is catered for by built= -in transfer programs.
In no time, the Cambridge Z88 will revolutionise your life by making it = possible for you to work with the tools you need, wherever and whenever you= want.
This manual is being updated to include the improvements made to the OZ = operating system, using a different country's keyboard, flash cards and oth= er features that have been added since the Z88 ceased production. It is a t= estament to the designers of that original machine was so much ahead of wha= t was around. Having a modern laptop using graphical logos was just a dream= , there was no internet, sending and receiving emails was only just being i= mplemented. In short, the Z88 was the 80's version of the iPad. The only pr= oblem was that not many people realised that at the time.
So here we are in the 21st century, computers are faster, memory and dat= a storage are at a fraction of the cost that they were, new users are disco= vering that the Z88 has still a part to play in their lives.
