The
microcomputer ships with something called a POCKET CHIP that includes a 4.3 inch touchscreen, QWERTY keyboard and a 5 hour battery.
- The use of the newly developed 0.18 micrometer ReRAM in
microcomputers and low power-consumption processes contributes to longer operational times for customers' products.
Thus, the
microcomputer presents an opportunity for the CPA to perform management advisory services, ranging from basic evaluation of a proposed turnkey system to participation in the implementation of a complete accounting system, for a much larger clientele.
Software packages developed for
microcomputer applications often have not included these same controls.
All other processing is done on local
microcomputer workstations.
Networks require a network operating system in addition to the
microcomputer's operating system to control all of the movements of data within the network.
Also, the mainframe approach, developed before the introduction of the
microcomputer, does not take advantage of the capabilities of the
microcomputer.
While these events were observed in the broader
microcomputer industry, my study of the uses of advanced information technologies in American cities revealed several interesting trends in that vertical market.
Selecting a
microcomputer in today's market can be a confusing process.
In addition to the fact that the computer is already recognized as a useful tool and a productive resource in the logistics area, there is a significant interest in the use of
microcomputer technology to assist logistics decision makers and others in the accomplishment of their various responsibilities.
