You need another workstation for your expanding staff, or you’re planning a new office. Or maybe a staff member’s computer has just died. So why not run out to the nearest chain store and pick up a computer or two? Because then you might just be stuck with something that will not serve your practice well and because you already forked out the money, it may be unlikely that you’ll replace your mistake any time soon.
