ZITTIUM ERUPTUS
The Symptom: When their computers break down,
Computer Nerds break out. Unsightly blemishes sprout
in anxiety over fleeting warranties, inept mainte-
nance, and a callous disregard for quality and
dependability. Because this festering nervous
disorder is so upsetting, Com-
puter Nerds often consume
large doses of benzoyl
peroxide before plug-
ging in their hardware.'
The Cure. Like the
slogan says: "The
Quality Goes In BeforeC(=
The Name Goes On!" So,
count on Zenith's famous
quality and reliability to take
the worry out of owning a
computer. And relax with,
Zenith's outstanding!
"after the sale" support
-including fast on-site"
service whenever you
need it. The "total
performance" Zenith Z-100.
PC's will certainly clear up
your concern...and your
complexion.
PERPLEXUS TUSHIMUNDO
The Symptom: It's no wonder Computer Nerds possess
such rotund derrieres. They sit on their caloric cushions
all day reading nothing but documentation materials
written in (gasp) "Computerese!" Computer Nerds
actually enjoy wasting time trying to decipher all that
perplexing gobbledegook. That's why
they're such a pain in the posterior, and
the butt of many cruel jokes.
The Cure: You won't fall behind
with Zenith User Manuals.They're
written in a language foreign to
Computer Nerds: English!

SQUINTIUM EYETIS
The Symptom: Because Computer Nerds have stared
into fuzzy, glaring video display screens for so long,
their optic nerves have finally said,"So long!" That's why
Computer Nerds always wear those
thick horn-rimmed glasses made
popular by Jerry Lewis in The
Nutty Professor (the Nerd
equivalent to Citizen Kane).
No wonder Computer
Nerds are considered
public eyesores!
The Cure: Don't make a
spectacle of yourself! Top off
your Zenith Z-100 PC with
an "easy-on-the-eyes"
Zenith monitor. Nobody
knows super-sharp video
displays better than
Zenith: We've been making-
better TV's since 1948. Our
non-glare monitors will
impress you with their ad-
vanced features and dazzling
graphics. They're truly a sight
for sore eyes!;

r EXPANDUS NERVOSA
The Symptom: Computer Nerds expand their horizons by expanding their
computers. But they fail to realize that their already enormous systems
lack enough internal expandability. So, as they tack on one peripheral
after the other, they soon find themselves being expanded out of house
and home. Such terrifying experiences eventually lead to an irrational
fear of closed-in places.
The Cure: Hardware expansion should never invade your space. That's
why Zenith gives you plenty of room to grow... inside where it counts.
The Zenith Z-100 PC's give you internal expandability that lets you add
eripherals without adding size. And they're more compact than the
IBM PC. So, cast your fear of expansion aside. We would never dream
of crowding you!
