[OPLINTECH] Purchasing new PCs

[Bob Neeper]

I go with Chad on the processors and boards (he supplies ours).

But at least some of our patrons PC's do and will have burners for 
various reasons.

USB's are good but can become corrupt.
(Actually I don't trust anything for ever and like multiple copies on 
different media)

It's easier for staff and cheaper for the library to burn a cd or even a 
dvd for a patron if we need to.
We keep a bunch of CD's and DVD's and sell for $1, but gimme's  many times.
Also a few USB stick to sell for $10 (No gimme's for them)

The extra drives also gives me someplace to make liveDVD's or various 
backups
Only a few staff PC's have burners.

And in case you're too young:
a gimme is like when you could go to a lumber yard or hardware store and 
say 'gimme a hat' or 'gimme a nail apron'.

You probably still can but you get a 'gimme $5' back at you.
