Decisions, Decisions

Time to upgrade your computer? Or maybe you're in the computer market for the first time. Whatever the answer, you could probably use some unbiased advice to help you choose a new machine. Fortunately, there are many excellent online sites that provide good information on the many makes, models, operating systems, internet access options, etc., that are available. For example, ConsumerReports.org offers excellent, step-by-step guidelines to help you navigate the decision-making process. Another site, cnet.com, provides free online courses for the home computer user on such topics as building your dream PC or setting up wireless access at home. Both PC Magazine and PC World cover virtually all aspects of computer purchasing, including these familiar debates: PC vs. Mac, notebook vs. desktop, and upgrade vs. status quo. So, before placing your order, check out these sites and see what the experts have to say. And remember, free access to all these sites, together with technical assistance if needed, is available at the library!
