In reading the May, 1991 issue of lyre

fact that it never stops moving, it would
look very poor indeed. The key to this

pear. If you select a custom programming company with the resources and
talents of manydifferentpeopl, you will
ay much more (expect to pay $125 to

but you will save in the long run because
the project will be completed on time
and the application will operate in a way
that benefits your business.
How do you insure who you choose is
going to do the job right? This is the
toughest question of all. Numerous custom programmers spend enormous
amounts of time impressing the prospective dient on all the wonderful things
they will do only to be proven later that
they cannot deliver. Here are a few tips
on how to attempt to prejudge a custom
progrsunmer or custom programming
company.
The point is that for certain applications (word processing, graphics, desktop publishing, general accounting), offth~helf packagesare your best bet For
the application that is specific to the
operation of your business, a custom program is your best bet.
The next question is, howdo you and
a good customyrogramming company,
and how do you plan for success? The
simple truth is you pay for what you get,
and in custom prolpwnnnng nothing
could be more true. If you choose a

custom applications for inventory, orderwntry, pointsof~e, accounting and

Dac Easy
Light
Overview

accounting needs. DacEasy Light tracks
both bank accounts and creditcards,
giving you the ability to have a snapshot
look at your current financial picture.
DacEasy Light does have the ability to
track other assets or liabilities, but the
Conclusion
If all you want is basic checkbook and
credit card accounting with nothingspecial, DacEasy Light is a stable package
that wiII do the job. If you choose to use
DacEasy Light you will be committing
yourself to buying cheques, invoices, and
statements from DacEasy. It is a pity that
the package does not suppoxt usergenerated laser cheques.
Personally I am not overly impressed

Peripherais
Peripheral refers to something other
than the basic CPU. These typically are
screen (monitor), keyboard, printer and
mouse. Of course these all have some
decision to be made about them. This is
the sort of stufF that keeps me in a job.
Last time I covered disks, both hard
and floppy; monitors; graphics standards
and printerL Topics remaining are: keyboard, expansion boards, mouse, modems, faxboards and game port
Keyboard
Most people End that the
"inverted T" is the best
layout for cursor keys.
Mouse

Modems
Modems use a telephone line to connect one computer with another. This
still gives me goose bumps when I think
of it. You can transfer directly between
your computer and your &iend's computer or use an electronic messaging
service such asEnvoy or CompuServe.
To use these, you connectwith a central
computer and leave your message in your
&iend's pigeonhole for them to read
whenever they connect.
