Читать книгу iMac For Dummies - Mark L. Chambers - Страница 26

Technology is nothing if you can’t make it convenient:

 Outlets, outlets, outlets! Your computer needs a minimum of at least one nearby AC outlet and perhaps a nearby Ethernet jack (if you use the iMac’s built-in Ethernet port for connecting to a wired Ethernet network). Oh, and don’t forget a surge protector or uninterruptible power supply (UPS), which I discuss at the end of this chapter. If you prefer to send your data over the airwaves, consider using wireless networking for your iMac. I discuss everything you need to know about wireless networking in Chapter 11.

 Don’t forget the lighting. Let me act as your mom. (I know that’s a stretch, but bear with me.) She’d say, “You can’t possibly expect to work without decent lighting! You’ll go blind!” She’s right, you know. At a minimum, you need a desk or floor lamp.

 Plan to expand. If your iMac hangs out on a desk, allow an additional foot of space on each side. That way, you have space for external peripherals and more powerful speakers.
