Desktop Computers: In Perspective (Johns Hopkins University/Applied Physics Laboratory Series in Science and Engineering) - Tapa blanda

This book is required reading for personal computer users, both those who are using a PC for the first time, and those who are familiar with PCs but who face the task of setting up to a PC system or network in a laboratory or office environment. It is a practical guide designed to increase the reader's technical literary across a broad range of topics related to PC workstations. The authors describe specific hardware and software products, asses the suitability of these particular needs, and provide a much-needed technical understanding of many often misunderstood issues. The book discusses the philosophy underlying PC systems, their makeup and configuration, and communications methodologies. A comprehensive glossary defines the terminology used in the field. This is an indispensable resource for office managers and technical advisors, especially those involved in planning computer system installations.
