Here
are the topics we'll discuss:

Printers:
An inkjet printer is unquestionably best for home
use not only because it can print in color, but
because it is far less expensive than a
laser printer.
Printer
speed is a key component to look at when comparing
printers. Printer Speed is measured in
Pages-Per-Minute.
|
|
12 - 14
pages-per-minute is fairly standard for black and white printing,
while standard color printing speeds range between 7 - 8
pagers-per-minute. There are many excellent printers available
from recognized, reputable manufacturers.
Scanners:
: Scanners are surprisingly affordable! In fact, you can
find a scanner that scans photos and other items with
acceptable accuracy and color representation for as little
as $99. Scanners enable the transformation of items from
print to electronic version and are especially helpful
when incorporating graphics into presentations, web page
design and much more.

Keyboard:
For a few dollars more than a standard keyboard, you can
upgrade to a keyboard specially designed for comfort or to
aid in browsing the Internet.
|
Optical
Mouse: An optical mouse operates without a track ball.
This can be very helpful in a computing environment where
food and drink are often major elements.

"Staying
in touch" peripherals: Your PC can provide a
channel of communication between your system and other
PC's that far exceeds mere telephone calls. Web cams,
digital cameras and other can allow computer users to
augment their email to visit "up close and
personal" via computer.
