switch
- Linksys 16 port 10/100 switch [Item#:

being transferred over your network for

as your default printer

- WE DO NOT Recommend External Modems
- Office 2000, not Office XP (we find it
annoying, but its fine if you have it) for
using Microsoft Word Mailmerge
- 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
- Trend Micro PC-cillin
- AVG Anti-Virus
