revised user types
Ok, I've removed server admin because I think he can merge with another
one, and I've removed laptop user because I don't care about him. I've
also pulled out Specialty User from SOHO/Other.
- General (Home) user
Gamer, Internet browser/email, wordprocessing, schoolwork, personal
accounting, other light tasks. Possible (but unlikely?) local network.
- SOHO -- Small/Home Office
Business applications (wordprocessing, spreadsheet, presentations,
database), fax, email, web, small local network likely, possibly
specialty software. Not likely to have dedicated individual administrator.
- Specialty User
Graphic artists, musicians, and other artistic types here, as well
as some scientists, ham (packet) radio users, etc. Characterized by
custom hardware or software and very limited and nonstandard range of
activities.
- Development/Technical Workstation
Heavy duty technical use, programming, hacking, applications
development, etc. Local network likely. Very technical user.
Specialized software.
- Business User -- Mid/Large office
Like SOHO, but more so. Significant networking -- file, print,
application serving. Probable use (but not admin of) servers,
firewalls, etc. Personal business applications (wp/spreadsheet/
presentation/database). Enterprise applications. Ease of use, GUI
are issues.
- Business User Systems Admin -- Mid/Large office
Use categories as above, but this is aimed at the folks who
administer the stuff. More emphasis on capability:cost ratio, ease of
admin.
This is starting to look like a pretty good list!
