Hazards to Health

The microcomputer has been compared to the new wonder-drug!

True, it can within microseconds kill off such evils as boredom, Dallas-addiction and intelligent conversation. But what is not so widely known is that the habitual micro-user is prone to a number of side-effects, or to be more exact, unclassifiable, untreatable debilitating diseases.
