Minimum Hardware Requirements for Foodman.



                       Modern computers are really ridiculously fast. Even the slowest
                       computer made today is much more powerful than a simple point-
                       of-sale system requires. This is good, it means you can buy
                       the cheapest computer you can find. The smallest hard-drive
                       which you can buy today is about 10GB; big enough to save all
                       your stuff for several years. If you have old computers sitting
                       in the closet dig them out. If they will run Windows (any flavor)
                       they will run Foodman. Try them out to see if they work out OK.



                       Same day flower delivery Saskatoon usually comes with a six-month warranty.
                       The odds are that if it survives the warranty period, it will
                       have a normal life-span. So, give refurbished stuff serious
                       consideration.


                       Your minimum requirements for a PC running Foodman, either
                       single-user or network are:


                              1. Any Windows PC, 1ghz and up.
                              2. One hard-drive. 
                              3. One CD drive to load Windows.
                              4. 512meg of RAM. (At least 1024meg on the FILE-SERVER.)
                              5. A network card (if using a network).
                              6. One parallel and two serial ports. (For printers and touchscreens.)
                              7. A mouse.
                              8. A keyboard.            
                              9. Use a USB Memory Stick for making backups.
                                                  
                       Do NOT spend more than $300.00 for a PC! 

                       


                       Some of the computers will not have Windows.  Be sure to
                       ask if they come with Windows. Foodman will run on any version of
                       Windows, Vista included.


                       You can usually buy computers with AMD processors for less
                       than ones with Pentium processors. They will work just fine.


                       Any Windows, including Vista,  computer will run Foodman with no problems.


                       If you plan on using a TouchScreen, buy a computer which does
                       not include a Monitor.
