including TEI Inc. in your article on workplace technology.

We have many
types of computers at our disposal. First, all employees receive PDAs and
desktop computers. But we only use those for word processing and spreadsheets.
Of course, some programs are too powerful for desktops. So many employees use
faster workstations. And we do have a few laptops and handheld PCs. However,
employees only use them on business trips. Most employees just answer email
with their cell phones. The new server provides access to all printers.

Finally, our
mainframe processes our largest data files. No need for a supercomputer yet!

Regards,

Bruce
Roberts.
