My Little Realm ================================================= Free Bonus described at the end of this document! ================================================= -------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction to My Little Realm/the system My Little Realm gives non-technical PC owners the chance to use PC computers to easily maintain and balance their checking account; track credit card expenses; create a phone/address book; print labels; address envelopes; track savings instruments; create a library of their personal books, tapes, cd's, etc.; monitor public library withdrawals; create "memory" records that let the computer remember where important documents (like wills, passports, etc.) are kept; track business expenses and incomes for part-time jobs; easily backup and retrieve files; encourage young readers to visit their local libraries; and still more. MLR is self-installing, comes with online help files, and users need know nothing about DOS, accounting, or file maintenance to make use of the entire system. Requires 2 MB of hard disk space. Most of My Little Realm's programs may be purchased separately. These stand-alone modules can be run from either a floppy disk or a hard disk. The stand-alone programs even make great gifts! They'll run on almost any kind of IBM compatible PC. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Stand-alone Programs of My Little Realm * Calling Cards. Calling Cards lets you access your phone/address database as if it were your own personal Yellow Pages. If you need a plumber, just tell Calling Cards to get you the number of your plumber. Calling Cards prints labels, Rolodex cards, bulk labels, shipping labels, envelopes, and checklists. Checklists are great for keeping track of who responds to your wedding invitations, client queries, party invitations, whatever. * Charging (aka The Credit Card Program). If you're the "typical" American family you have seven credit cards. Have you ever wondered where you stood with all of those cards? How much is out on this one or that one? Or all of them? The press of a single key in Charging will answer those questions. Many credit card companies offer great benefits, from earning small rebates on what you purchase (like Discover) to large savings on cars and pickup trucks (like Ford and GM). Make maximum use of the credit cards that pay you back by charging what you normally purchase with cash or check (groceries, gasoline, and medicine), and let Charging keep track of your expenditures for you. * Checking. Checking makes checkbook maintenance a breeze. You create the records of your checks, deposits, autowithdrawals, and so on with a minimum of data entry. A degree in accounting is definitely not required. Checking automatically balances your checking account and tracks your personal income tax deductions (or whatever else you tell it to keep track of). * Private Library. Private Library gives you the opportunity to put all of your personal volumes (books, cd's, video tapes, etc.) online. You can sort, search, view and print your records in a variety of ways. * Public Library. Tired of paying overdue fines at your local library? Public Library remembers when books are due, and it maintains a historical file of everything you borrow. That makes it great for high school and college students who want an easy way to keep track of their research materials. * Read More. Read More encourages young readers to make use of their public libraries. Kids frequently complain that they can't find anything to read. The titles that come with Read More are fun reading. Read More encourages young readers by showing them a wide variety of new authors and works that they would enjoy reading. Kids can check off the books they read to have Read More display smiley faces next to them. Kids love to watch the smiley faces add up. Books are listed by age groups. For ages 6 months through young adult. * Records of the Realm. "Memory" records created by Records of the Realm help locate important documents in short order. This program can also save you a lot of trouble and headaches should you ever lose one or more of your credit cards. It will automatically generate a list of phone numbers for your credit card issuers so you can: quickly make the necessary calls to stop payments; print letters to those same issuers (required by most credit card issuers); and print labels for the envelopes. * Savings. Savings lets you keep track of all of your savings instruments ... certificates of deposit, passbook savings, Keough plans, IRA's, and so on. Thinking about buying a new home or refinancing the one you have now? Print your savings portfolio and bring it with you when you visit your loan representative. It'll save you tons of time. -------------------------------------------------------------------- My Little Realm/The System You can purchase the entire My Little Realm system which comes with all of the above stand-alone programs plus, at no extra cost: 1 Main Menu. You can easily change color modes, shell out to DOS, check your computer's resources, and invoke MLR's ScreenSaver ... all at the touch of a button. It also gives you easy, single-key access to all of the MLR programs described above. 2 Utilities. MLR comes with its own backup and retrieval utilities. You can back up all of your files with the press of a single key. And you can retrieve backed up files by simply telling Retrieve which MLR program has a bad file. Retrieve will do the rest. You don't have to know a thing about DOS! 3 Documentation. The System comes with its own documentation viewer so you can refer to your help files without leaving the system. 4 Common interface. MLR's programs are easy to learn, and once you learn how to use one, you'll know how to use them all because they all work the same way. 5 Review Programs. Two review programs let you access your checking and charging files to see how you've been spending your hard-earned money. Both allow you to peruse your files in a scrollable window, query your records, and search them as well. You can even generate a year-to-date summary. Note: The MLR system must be run from the hard disk and requires 2 MB of hard disk space. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Great reasons to buy programs from My Little Realm! 1 Bonus program!
