Doring, Richard; Hicks, Bruce
A brief review is presented of the characteristics of four maxicalculators (HP 9830, Wang 2200, IBM 5100, MCM/700) and two minicomputers (Classic, Altair 8800). The HP 9830 and the Wang 2200 are thought to be the best adapted to serve entire schools and their unique properties are discussed. Some criteria of what should be taken into account in the interaction between the user and the machine are briefly mentioned. (DAG)
