I might further add that you should examine company policy involving employees installing their own files on your computers. Your computers are a tool to access, manipulate, and organize that information, and putting it to profitable use. GoldMine is the best sales and marketing tool for the price bar none. Yet many companies try to pinch pennies and try to operate GoldMine on old rickety computers. There is nothing worse then waiting on filters to run or watching GoldMine give out running on a old Pentium class PC with 16 megs of memory on it.
Many companies retire machines from service far too late.
Old computers with slow processors just can t run today s modern software efficiently, or at all. I read an analogy the other day that I kind of agree with. One year on a computer is like 7 years on a car. No matter how well maintained, I probably would not push that car on a cross-country trip with my family. It makes financial sense to get the best performance you can afford, and GoldMine demands it.
