Other Specs
- Microsoft Office or Open Office for printing mail merge letters
- Coral Springs Software highly recommends Dell Computers (they're the best!)

Power Outages
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is HIGHLY recommended for ALL stations running QuikCheK. This is so that if you experience power loss while running QuikCheK, you will have time to logout and shut down your systems, avoiding potential data loss and / or corruption.

Internet
WE DO NOT Recommend having internet access at your front desk computer. Why? Because your front desk staff will be using the internet all day long, surfing the net, downloading software, playing games, sending emails and contracting viruses. We have seen at least 20 clubs lose all of their data over the past 2 years, due to contracting viruses off the internet.

Recommended Anti-Virus Software
- Microsoft Security Essentials

- Trend Micro PC-cillin

- AVG Anti-Virus
