Assignment: Business Information Systems
An old aphorism claims, "You can never have too much money." Many computer users support a similar maxim, "You can never have too much storage." Although some computer users turn to hardware solutions for the problem of adequate storage, other users look to software answers, such as hard disk partitions or data compression. Information about both partition software and data compression software is available on the web.
Visit some websites to find out more about hard disk partitions and data compression.
