Suggested
Accessories
The
following are suggestions for add-ons or upgrades
to basic systems. Nothing on this list is required in order
for your system to function on ResNet.
|
|
- Personal
Productivity Software such as Microsoft Office.
- Personal
Printer - something with a small footprint.
- Speakers
and headphones
- Operating
Manuals, Installation Disks - to help diagnose problems.
- Copy
of Hardware Warranty/Proof of Purchase - keep originals at home.
- Surge
Suppressor/Power Strip - for multiple devices
- CD-RW
drive. A CD-ROM drive capable of writing to CDs as well as reading
from them. This is useful in transferring data, particularly larger
files that will not fit on a disk. Sometimes, compact disks burned by
a CD-RW are not readable by compact disk players five or more years
old.
- DVD
drive. DVD drives can read DVDs and CDs. Some models can also write
CDs. If you have a DVD drive, then no CD-ROM is needed, unless you have
a DVD drive that cannot burn CDs and you also want a CD-RW drive.
- Ergonomic
keyboard. Using traditional keyboards for long periods of time over
an extended period can cause serious injuries to the hands, wrists,
and forearms. You can help prevent these injuries by purchasing an ergonomically
designed keyboard that allows good hand positioning. Although more expensive,
the benefit for your body is enormous.
- Zip
Drive. A disk drive that accepts ZIP disks, which are disks with
hundreds of times the storage capacity of floppy diskettes. These drives
can be installed in your computer, or there are also external drives
usable with a connecting cable.
