Keep that Used Computer
Business 2.0 - Web Article - Happiness Is a Used PC
This article announces that the 3-year replacement cycle for business computers has come to an end. At our library, we never followed the 3-year rule, but instead replaced due to speed problems and whether we had the money in the budget or not. Due to a drop in our automation annual fee, we just replaced several of our computers for the public with new small towers that are fast and take up very little space. So we should be set for some time. But I am glad that I won't be replacing all of them in three years time, since that would mean also replacing our five public wireless laptops as well!
