Computing for the small user

Abstract

The computer industry is renowned for its rapid rate of change and its inventiveness. People are becoming used to constantly changing technology, falling prices and diminishing sizes. But concurrently with this increasing awareness there is, I believe, still a great deal of innate apprehension about the introduction of small computers to one's own small business. The feeling is that it is all very well for somebody else to do it — big companies who can afford the specialists, for example — but for one's own business ‘let us wait and see’ is a frequently encountered response. How can we overcome this overly cautious attitude?
