Critical Thinking QuestionsCase 1-1Sally is a busy real estate agent looking to purchase a new desktop computer so she can keep track of her client's accounts and touch-up photos of real estate properties.How do you guide Sally as she tries to determine the specific software to use on her computer?
What will be an ideal response?
Before deciding to purchase software, you tell her that she should be sure it contains the features necessary for the tasks that she wants to perform. She should rely on you and other computer users in whom she has confidence to help her decide on the software to use. In addition, she should consider purchasing software that might help her perform tasks at home that she would otherwise perform at another location, such as at school or at work. The minimum requirements of the software that she selects may determine the operating system that she needs. If she decides to use a particular operating system that does not support the software she wants to use, she may be able to purchase similar software from other manufacturers. Many Web sites and trade magazines provide reviews of software products. These Web sites frequently have articles that rate computers and software and cost, performance, and support. Her hardware requirements depend on the minimum requirements of the software she will run on her computer. Some software requires more memory and disk space than others, as well as additional input, output, and storage devices.
