Butel-Athena: The ideal Small Business System

From another company that appears to have left no trace whatsoever - Butel-Comco Limited of Southampton - comes this advert for the Athena, one of only a handful of microcomputers that came with a built-in printer.

There's virtually no information about the computer itself in the advert, other than it was capable of running all the usual business stuff - accounting, stock control and word processing. 

But whatever it was built on, it was relatively expensive, coming in at £5,694 plus VAT, or about [[6550|1981]] in [[now]] money.

As well as the built-in printer - as also seen in [=oki_if800_percw_feb82|OKI's if800], [=adve_027|HP's HP-85], 1978's [=rockwell_aim65_pcw_dec80|Rockwell AIM-65] or the computer that was more printer than micro, [=pcw_1982_12_004a|Durango's 700] - the Athena sported an unusually-wide display housing. 

Alhtough it's hard to tell from the low-contrast photo, the actual display wasn't this wide as it looks like it probably housed floppy disk drives as well.
