With Buddy, there is no more waiting to use the PC! Each user has their own fully functional console with the ability to independently run applications such as word processors, spreadsheets, databases, and e-mail.

Buddy also enables users to simultaneously share printers, modems, CD-ROM drives and communication lines - telephone, ISDN or DSL. In fact, two or more users can surf the Internet, chat and play on-line games using just one modem, one phone line, and one ISP account.

The Buddy station may be conveniently placed up to 50 feet from the PC with an optional cable.

The Buddy system includes an adapter card, 15 foot cable, connector box with ports for a monitor, keyboard & mouse and software. Installation is quick and easy. In a matter of minutes, a second user can be concurrently sharing your PC.

Nearly 50,000 Buddies are in use around the world. Customers include Century 21, Continental Airlines, Ernst & Young LLP, Georgetown University, GNC, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Social Security Administration, University of Miami and the YMCA.

There are many good reasons to buy a second PC. But there is one GREAT reason not to: the Buddy System. This revolutionary product provides all the hardware and software you need to give another person the full benefits of a second PC. You simply add a monitor, keyboard and mouse.

All the Benefits of a 2nd PC

With Buddy, two people can each run their favorite applications. For example, while you prepare a multimedia presentation for work, your partner can surf the World Wide Web planning your next vacation. Or your child can research an online encyclopedia for her science project.

Vega's Buddy comes with a card that plugs into your PC, a connector box for attaching a second monitor, keyboard and mouse, and software that takes advantage of the multitasking power of Windows 95/98. Buddy also includes a 15-foot cable so you can each work in your favorite place. (A 50-foot cable is optional).

Surf the Internet Together

Buddy allows both of you to surf the Internet and World Wide Web at the same time. You need only one modem, one phone line and one Internet connection, (ISP). You save by not having to install a second phone line or pay monthly charges for that extra line. With Buddy, the wait for the PC is over.

How does Buddy Work?

Today's PCs are extremely fast. Even while you are busy working, a significant portion of your computer's processing power goes unused. The genius of Buddy is it takes that extra power and distributes it to more than one user, so that each person gets the power needed, when it's needed.

Buddy System Requirements:

• Pentium 100Mhz minimum, faster processor preferred
• Windows 95/98
• 16MB of RAM minimum, 32MB or more is preferred
• Available ISA slot
• SVGA monitor, keyboard and mouse (with PS/2 style connectors) for each additional user

What is included with the Buddy System?

Work in your own Personal Environment

Buddy makes it easy for you to tailor Windows 95/98 to your own tastes. Everyone gets his or her favorite screen colors, wallpaper, and icons. This is especially handy if you want to restrict access to certain applications or present a simple interface customized to each person's needs.

A Price You Can Afford

You would expect to pay a lot for a product as useful and powerful as Buddy. After all, it offers the functionality of a second PC. But because of very aggressive pricing, and because much of the power of Buddy comes from the PC you already have, we are able to offer this revolutionary product at an unbelievably low price.
