8.10 BUY USED AND SECONDHAND COMPUTERS
If
you only need to do simple word processing, data base entry or create a spread sheet, an
old computer will do fine. DOS computers are often much faster than many Windows based
machines for basic tasks.
There
is a glut of old computers right now. You can get a machine that sold for over $1000 just
a few years ago for almost nothing. This machine should last for years. Standard DOS
programs can create data that it completely compatible with Windows such as text, dbase
files, and lotus spread sheets.
Availability:
==Look
in the classifieds.
==Ask
at the local computer shop.
==Ask
around, perhaps a friend has an old machine he or she no longer needs.
