----------------------------Original message----------------------------
We are in the process of developing a college-wide policy on
replacing/upgrading PCs. I know the "rule-of-thumb" is replacing
every three years(if you're being very generous) to five years, but
some people in the college community are skeptical that this is
necessary.
Could someone point me to a written "standard" or recommendation in
the literature?
Please reply to me directly, not to the list. Thanks for your
help.
