The office suite - software working together

A suite (pronounced 'sweet') is a set of things that are designed to go together. The furniture in a room can be designed as a suite, and you can even have a suite of music. A software suite is a set of programs that are designed to work together. There are several different kinds of suite, but themostcommon is the office suite. This is because when computers became small and cheap enough for many people to afford them, many companies  boughtcomputers for their workers.

Before the office suite, there were programs available for office workers. You could get a program for doing complicated sums. Of course secretaries liked a replacement for the typewriter that let them correct their mistakes and change what they were writing. (A word processing program. These are now so common that many typists have found other work, because their bosses found that they could type for themselves!)

Small businesses liked being able to see what things had been brought or used, who their customers were, and how much they had been paid and needed to pay. But soon people discovered that life was a lot easier if you could put all these functions together in a way that allowed them to exchange information.

Today with new functions  making it easier than ever for programs to move data about, the future of the software suite has never been brighter.

Removable storage

The main idea behind removable storage is that data can be easily transferred between computers via a portable medium. For many years the diskette (also known as a floppy disk) was the best example of this kind of storage.

In recent years, you are much more likely to see optical storage devices such as CD-ROM, CD-R, DVD-ROM, and DVD-R devices being used to store larger software and data archives. These devices can store between 650 MB and 50 GB of data. But optical devices do have their drawbacks. As you probably know, these discs scratch easily. Also, optical drives have lower performance than hard disk drives, and they can normally only be written to one time with any degree of reliability.

Because of the need for ever greater capacity and performance for removable storage, a new device called the flash drive has taken over the industry by storm. Based on semiconductor storage technology, these devices can store up to 16 GB (or greater) of data. Data read and write times are very fast due to USB 2.0 technology.  As is true with most other types of computer equipment, the speed and capacity of removable storage is always increasing, while prices generally decrease for all but the newest technologies.
