Sinopsis
Computers are indispensable for much of the work and play people do. After years of stagnation during which people focused on office automation and business applications and asked where the value was in the ever faster parade of new systems, PCs have crossed a price and performance threshold.

music, serve as your home darkroom, and enhance a home theater.
music, serve as your home darkroom, and enhance a home theater.
They still do office automation, too. As recently as when we wrote the third edition of this book, a computer with that kind of power cost thousands of dollars, and most people used a single PC. Four years later, a PC costing less than $500 can handle almost everything you might do, and a surprisingly large number of homes have three or more computers on a local area network. People’s priorities have shifted to put stability and capability on par with minimum cost and maximum value.
