Just like any computer application, there are certain minimum requirements that you need to be aware of before starting.  In the following paragraphs, we've broken down the minimum hardware and software requirements needed for initially creating the Home or Small Business Inventory, and also for viewing the finished Inventory Report CD.
 
Creating the Home or Small Business Inventory Report CD

Minimum Hardware Requirements - Just about any modern computer system with a CD Writer, a web browser, and a connection to the Internet.  Armed with these three items anyone should be able to perform all the tasks needed to enter their inventory details, download the report file, and create a CD containing their Inventory. 

 
Even if you've never used your CD writer for anything else before, our instructions can guide you through the entire process, start to finish.  

Minimum Software Requirements - You'll need the software to create and burn data CD's (which is normally included with the CD Writer).  You'll also need an unzip utility (like pkunzip or winzip) to unpack the downloaded inventory file.

Minimum Hardware Requirements - This is even simpler... just a PC system with a CD reader and a web browser.  For IBM PC systems, you simply insert the CD and the Inventory Reports are automatically displayed.   

No need to be connected to the Internet, no special software required.  It doesn't even need to be a specific type of PC--the Inventory reports can be viewed on Mac's and Linux systems as well.

Minimum Software Requirements - Just about any web browser that supports CSS (includes Microsoft IE 3, and Netscape 4 and later).
