What is the difference between a clone and a retail Machine?
Answer: Clones are custom built, typically using industry standard parts.  Standard parts make clones easy to repair or customize to a specific task, and parts can be purchased almost anywhere.  The retail machines that you can buy today are proprietary and thus parts must be obtained from the manufacturer.  Often a year or two after a computer was built the supply of parts is cut off to accelerate the planned obsolescence of these retail machines.

If I want to buy a retail computer can it be upgraded? 
Answer:  Yes, to a point.  It is always best to consult with a hardware professional before making large IT purchases to ensure that you are buying machines that will expand with your type of business.

Does your business need to network it’s computers?
Answer: The answer is probably yes!  If your business has more that a couple of PCs, you could probably benefit from having centralized back-up capabilities.  Resource sharing, like sharing a printer between two or three computers, can also justify the initial cost of setting up a small network.

What is the solution to virus or adware/spyware infections?
