Computers used in farming

By Jeff Burixink Extension Educator Computers have become an everyday part of life, even on farms. Many computers are purchased during rite holiday season as part of a family Christmas gift, and double as a record keeping device for the farm. If you are one of the farm families considering a computer purchase in the next few months, I would advise you to set our sights higher rather than purchasing one of the lower priced machines. Why? Often times, the bargain computers are quite good machines, at least for the first year or so. However, they tend to be slightly slower, or have less memory. Eventually, when you need to upgrade the software that runs your machine, you are stuck with a computer that cannot handle the upgrade. Most of the computers sold this season will offer Windows XP as the operating system. XP runs well on 128mb of RAM, but runs much better with 156mb of RAM. Most of the software designers, if they follow the trends of the past,

will eventually design their software to this standard. If you are the owner of a machine running older sofware, you may want to check with the software designer to see if the program will ruq correctly on XP based systems. Another consideration is the amount of storage memory you will need. Windows XP requires up to about 1.5 gigabytes (GB) of space. That is a huge amount of information to store on your hard drive, but probably nothing compared to the programs that will be written the next few years to exploit XP’s features. The lower end machines are now coming complete with 20GB or 40GB hard drives. It is not unrealistic that a 60 or 80GB hard drive might be needed in 4 to 5 years to accommodate new software. This is especially true if you have children in the home who are going to use

darns carried bouquets of dusty rose, smoky blue and navy blue flowers with greenery, custom made by the bride, as were their hair ornaments. Matthew McNiel, Mishawaka, served the groom as best man and Adam Duncan, Nappanee, was groomsman. Men wore dark suits with cream shirts and black ties. Their boutonnieres were created by the bride. Special music was provided by vocalists Jerry O’Boyle and Donna Weaver, accompanied by Dawn, Warsaw. A reception followed the ceremony, with Sherry Hess, Plymouth, the bride’s aunt, designing the sixtiered wedding cake, trimmed with flower-trimmed staircases, designed by the bride. Mrs. Duncan is a 1984 graduate of North Wood High School and Elkhart Beauty College of Cosmetology. Her husband graduated from NWHS in 1985 and served in the United States Marine Corps.

the computer as a game platform. Games can use a huge amount of storage in a hurry. The speed of a computer is measured by its processor speed. Most of the low-end computers are operating at 1 gigahertz (GHz) or better. Faster models are operating at speeds of 1.5 to 2.0 GHz. Again, software to be released 2 to 3 years from now will most likely be designed for the higher for the higher speed, making your computer useful for another 3 or 4 years. If you or your family members are going to spend a lot of time in front of the computer, spend some extra money on the monitor. In recent years, conventional 17 or 19 inch monitors have dropped quite a bit in price. The bigger viewing area is much easier on the eyes than the old standard 15 inch monitor.
