Outline for buying a personal computer
Why
do you want one?
How soon should you buy?
What kind should you buy?
Where to go to buy it?
How much should you spend?
Are there hidden costs?
What hardware comes with your purchase?
What software programs should be included in your purchase?
What other programs do you need?
What is likely to go wrong? When?
What maintenance services do you need and who should provide them?
Just
so you know…comments, thoughts and suggestions are my personal opinion and
because opinions on all of the included subject areas are as varied as the
colors of the rainbow, neither I nor the Computerswest Computer Club can
or will be responsible for your actions. Buying the “right” computer is
a little like buying the “right” car, just cheaper.
