Abstract:
:One of the most important things to consider before buying a computer is use. Where and how will you use your computer? At home (to do household budgeting, some word processing, and play games?), or at the office (to balance complex budgets, calculate payroll, keep a large database of clientele, and possibly have up to 16 users on the system at the same time?). Will you want to integrate your system with imaging, voice response charting and EDI? (The brilliance of EDI alone justifies automation.) Keep in mind that what you do with a computer will probably expand as you get more familiar with the technology, so make sure there's room for growth in the computer you select. Another important aspect to purchasing a computer is service. The company you buy from must be able to provide you with prompt service, and be available when you first explore the realm of microcomputing. If you manage to save money on the purchase price, but it takes six months to have your office computer repaired, you have definitely lost out in the long run.
