Batteries Included

Batteries Included (BI) was a computer software and hardware company based in the Toronto area. It was well known in the 1980s for its popular PaperClip word processor, which was available for Atari and Commodore microcomputers. BI began as a small, family run retail shop, started by brothers Alan and Robbie Krofchick and their sister Marcie Swartz. Eventually, BI turned into an international, multi-million dollar company that had a major impact on computing in the 1980s.
