CNet Recommends Compaq Deskpro and Quantex Computers for Small Business 

Smart business buyers know that purchase price is not the only, or even the largest, cost associated with a new PC. Over the long haul, a system's reliability, networkability, and manageability can have a much bigger impact on the total cost of ownership. CNet explores these issues in the desktop review.

Extended Research Activity



Use the same sites above to investigate a company's possible capital investment in operating systems software such as Windows '98. Bring this information to class to share with your classmates. Be sure to identify the article's title, author(s), and publication date.

See "Windows '98: The Final Analysis" as an example.



Either print out your answers for submission or email them to your instructor.
