A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO SMALL OFFICE COMPUTER NETWORKS

your questions answered

	Are servers expensive?
	Probably less than you think! For a small office servers actually cost less than laptops, although with a server the operating software is not included in the initial cost. You also need some cabling and a box to connect all the computers together (called a router or switch). Even so you will probably spend less than £1000 for a starter package for 12 - 15 users.
