Line of Recognition Equipment marks shift in strategy

Article Abstract:

Recognition Equipment Inc will introduce products that target the computer imaging market. This represents a shift in strategy, following a series of quarterly losses and lawsuits. Recognition Equipment intends to divest itself of some operations and to focus attention on imaging systems that facilitate the automation of handling paperwork. New products, expected in fall 1990, will be of three kinds: one kind will allow users to create and modify their own image processing systems without requiring sophisticated knowledge; the second kind will enable users to enter images and data from documents into the system; and the third kind will involve workstation products that enable users to program the system to manage specific work applications. A company spokesman says Recognition Equipment will focus marketing attention on government agencies and transportation, insurance and financial services companies.

How to pick up job tips strewn along the Infobahn

Article Abstract:

Job searchers discuss various resources available on the Internet, offering utilization guidelines. Among the options available are on-line discussion forums where one can exchange information with other job searchers. In addition to leads, such services can be a source of information on such topics as resume preparation. One user recommends the 'what's happening this week' forum as a source of information about classes and seminars. Another user points out that the On-Line Career Center and Career Mosaic offer valuable information. Another way the Internet can be utilized in the job search is in sending resumes directly to prospective employers via electronic mail. One job seeker opines that company home pages, from which one can derive actual job listings and contact names, are the best job-related feature of the Internet.

Tandy to open huge Oregon store for electronics

Article Abstract:

Tandy Corp plans a 160,000-square-foot consumer electronics store near Portland, OR. The store, which is being built in Wilsonville, a Portland suburb, will sell name-brand microcomputers, consumer electronics products and home appliances. The project is titled Project Thunder. Tandy's Radio Shack stores have not been doing well, and Tandy has been moving into various alternative retail formats, but the Oregon store is much larger and potentially more risky than anything else the company has tried until now. Such a large store will have to draw many customers, which means prices will have to be low and margins will be narrow. Even so, at least one industry observer believes that Tandy can afford to take this risk because Tandy itself is such a large company.
