It was all pretty simple back then. Music hadn't yet become your business. But when you began to compose and publish your work, things began to change. And that's why today, you do need BMI. BMI is a non -profit making organization that exists to help you by protecting your public performance interests. No matter what type of music you write, you're wel- come at BMI. Our advanced computerized sampling and comprehensive logging systems ensure accuracy. And our tradition of personal service means that you'll always get the attention you need. We're proud of the fact that most of the music on last year's charts was created by BMI affiliates. But BMI we're not surprised. Because that's what we're here for -to make it easier for the most talented collection of writers and composers to create the most popular music. Today and tomorrow.

Overcoming computer fear is the of the least dignified uses of small home computers, but they are also one of the most popular. It's easy to understand why. Who ever thought five years ago that American youth Here's The Adult Video Game With Arcade -Level Action...And More Teasing Tricks and could watch any more TV than they Sexy Surprises Than You Can Shake A Joystick At. already do? Who ever thought the TV set could again provide fresh programming for the whole fam- ily- without having to sift through this season's banal sitcoms? And is that laughter? Television hasn't made people laugh, like video games do, in years. What pro- gram coming over the air from Hol- lywood could be half as funny as PRESENTS Frogger? Not only are video games fun to play at home, but considering the $3,500 in quarters it cost you to learn to play Pac -Man standing up, you can save a small fortune by playing at home sitting down - where you only have to press the button to play again. No shame. No charge. More importantly, once past the under -$200 start -up costs for the system of your choice and a selection of games, you are merrily on your way to breaking the back of computer fear. It is at the joystick controller of your video -game console that you first begin to gain the confidence necessary to keep that game spirit alive, as you gradually replace com- puter fear with a fresher phobia; now that you've finally played a video game, you're afraid you like it! You want to wear a Zaxxon hat to dinner with friends. You've sub- mitted your score on Gorf for the Space Cadet badge. This, however, is a much less complex problem to deal with than runaway computer fear. Because video games are fun, they can easily lead to game -in- spired applications of game-ma- chines-turned-personal-computers. What began as a game to dispel the Dark Age can grow into a positive, productive avocation -or more - pursued with the same joyous gamesmanship with which you gobbled up dots in Pac -Man. But if playing video games be- comes more of a problem than the computer fear you played so hard to overcome, and you would prefer the problem to the solution, there is very little that high -tech refugees can do to reverse the trend.
