An improved version of the Model 100′s easy-to-use word processing program makes Tandy 200 especially useful for journalists, salespeople, engineers, students and anyone who needs to write letter-perfect memos, reports and correspondence in a hurry.

Four other “instant-on” programs let you use the Tandy 200 as your telephone auto-dialer (the Tandy 200 generates tone-diaing pulses, so you can use it with long-distance services).
