Is your computer ready for 1998 -- 99? CIT has recommendations for purchases

Wondering whether your computer is ready for the next release of Bear Access applications and the new generation of campus services due out this fall? Not sure what to look for in a new computer? Cornell's new recommendations for evaluating and purchasing Wintel and Macintosh systems can help.

These recommendations outline the minimum capabilities that a computer will need next year for access to contemporary services and general-purpose computing. They also suggest what to consider when purchasing a new system. For details, visit the web site at http://www.cit.cornell.edu/computer/computers/recommend/.
