1.4 Hardware Requirements

Many people do not understand the concept of "minimum requirements." There's a reason software packages list quantities of hardware and say, "You must have a minimum of the following to run this software." Nevertheless, this doesn't stop some from trying anyway.




Sometimes it's better to go along with the customer and not ask questions.


This is common. We have people who will tell us they saw the error message 10+ times but have absolutley no idea what it said. We are not psychics. There's the problem -- the customer doesn't have the minimum requirements to run the software. You would think that once the person finds out he doesn't have the right equipment to run a piece of software, it would end the conversation...but, alas, the following dialogue is more representative of customer responses in such situations.
