One of the most common buzz phrases in the computer press today is Total Cost of Ownership, or TCO for short. The term is relatively self-explanatory: it is a measure of how much your computer will cost you for as long as you use it, or how much it costs to own it. Previously this term was used in the auto industry to reflect how much money a new car would cost you beyond the sticker price -- it encompassed maintenance and repairs, fuel efficiency, tire and brake life, reliability, and insurance and registration fees. Tallying up these costs and figuring in the amount of use and stress your car endures, you can get a good idea of what it will cost to drive it over a given period of time............................
