Computer use in piano service businesses

[Paul Graeber]

Hi,


I have a 200 megahertz Pentium PC with 32 megs of memory. I have just under 4 megs of hard disk storage. I am using LaserJet and DeskJet color printers. I am running this under Win95A. (hope to get "B" soon)


I have been using Dean Reyburns Piano Service Manager and Tuning Manager for several years, and I am very comfortable with them.


I am on my second AccuTuner.


In addition, I am using MS Word, and MS Publisher for my letterhead, correspondence, and business cards.


I also use the Peachtree Accounting package.


I hope this helps.


Regards,
