Even a fairly small organization needs to have a spare PC that is capable of running most of the applications that a church uses. It should be ready to go and sitting on a shelf. Thanks to buying good equipment, and keeping on top of maintenance, I don't have machines go down often, but I'm glad that I was able to cabbage onto a descent machine and keep it on the shelf in my office for those times when a hard drive dies, or a mother board just konks out. I can drop a loaner into place very quickly and the staff member or volunteer can get back to work! kdl Actually, I think it’s a great point.
