Wholesale Computer Parts
Peter Gitundu asked: Most branded computers today have become highly un affordable including their parts such as memories, mother boards, and other assorted computer innards, so if you are thinking of purchasing a new computer system. Consider gathering wholesale computer parts because the prices of good computers have remained more or less constant and offering the same kind of services as the rest of the computers.Wholesale parts are an excellent way to source out and build your own computer. Most people are of the opinion that these parts are in some way inferior to the ones available in branded computers. As for me I always assumed that dealers in these parts used this as a means for cheap and inefficient computer manufacturers to offload their low-grade stock on unsuspecting consumers.Manufactures make more parts than required by an order from a branded computer dealer. This is an integral quality control feature in order to ensure that a sudden spurt in demand or a quality crisis can be handled quickly and efficiently. When the order is processed without confrontation, the excess parts are off loaded to wholesale computer parts dealers for a huge discount.They then sell these replacement items for a discount [...]

Build Versus Buy – A Merger and Acquisition Strategy for Information Technology Companies
Dave Kauppi asked: As a Merger and Acquisition advisor, we regularly dialogue with the top executives in the information technology industry. We have to chuckle when we reach a decision maker with a large IT company and he says, “We have a corporate policy that we do not buy companies.” Does this guy read the industry publications? Is his company’s development group that good? Does he understand the first mover advantage or window of opportunity?We have gotten past the dizzying array of Internet product introductions, but the pace of technology introduction has again returned to robust levels. Any large company that feels it can keep pace with this force through internal development efforts alone is headed down the path of extinction.Almost everyone will agree that information technology will be a primary driver of controlling costs in U.S. industry.

Computer Virus History
Temp asked: A computer virus is a self-replicating computer program written to alter the way a computer operates, without the permission or knowledge of the user.Elk Cloner is credited with being the first computer virus to appear “in the wild” — outside the single computer or lab where it was created. Written in 1982 by Rich Skrenta, it attached itself to the Apple DOS 3.3 operating system and spread by floppy disk. The first PC virus was a boot sector virus called (c)Brain, created in 1986 by two brothers, Basit and Amjad Farooq Alvi, Pakistan. The brothers reportedly created the virus to deter pirated copies of software they had written.Before computer networks became widespread, most viruses spread on removable media, particularly floppy disks. In the early days of the personal computer, many users regularly exchanged information and programs on floppies. Some viruses spread by infecting programs stored on these disks, while others installed themselves into the disk boot sector.Traditional computer viruses emerged in the 1980s, driven by the spread of personal computers and the resultant increase in BBS and modem use, and software sharing. Bulletin board driven software sharing contributed directly to the spread of Trojan horse programs, and viruses [...]
