 Survey
Winner Is. . .
Congratulations to Chris Miles from Rowland Reading
for being the June 2009 winner of a $50 gift card good
at any of the Food Fight restaurants! Chris completed
the satisfaction survey after her help desk issue was
closed. As a result, Chris was automatically entered to
win a gift card from Applied Tech and randomly chosen as
the winner. Who is going to be this month's winner?? It
could be you. . . (just be sure to complete the emailed
survey once your help desk case is closed. It's that
easy!)

Desktop or Workstation -
Which do you need?
reprinted with permission from the HP Small Business Center
 Workstations
are more accessible and more flexible than ever, but do you
need that kind of power? How exactly do workstations differ
from traditional desktops? Who uses workstations, and what
benefits do they offer?
Who uses
workstations?
Workstations are designed to meet the requirements of users
who place heavy demands on their computers, including:
- Power
office users who perform complicated and data-intensive
office functions—graphic, video and web design, complex
linked calculations, database and spreadsheet
manipulations and advanced collaboration functions.
- Technical
personnel who work in design and simulation functions
that can include MCAD (Mechanical Computer Aided
Design), CAE (Computer Aided Engineering), and ECAD
(Electronics Computer Aided Design) in industries as
diverse as aeronautics, automotive design, product
prototyping and more.
- Animators,
graphic artists, video editors and renderers who engage
in DCC (Digital Content Creation).
- Traders or
other employees in financial sectors that require
quad-monitor support and the computing power to manage
complex real time transactions seamlessly.
