Abstract/Contents:Discusses the use of computers on golf courses, focusing on the potential for evolution in software and hardware to make a computer obsolete. Describes the state of various operating systems in 2010, and predicts their advancements for the near future. Mentions that "you can spend $250 to $400 for a 'base model' computer (without monitor) at big-box stores and online merchants," providing a further cost-benefit analysis. Suggests that "the key indicator when shopping, or at least thinking, is to look for DDR3 RAM [double-data-rate three random access memory] in the spec [specification] sheets," and concludes that buyers should "find a competent and trusted local vendor to work with."
