Answer to Question 1

One should consider what is compatible with their current systems, especially since they are unlikely to be able to afford expensive upgrades. Also, ease of use is an issue, given their lack of training and experience. The windows operating system is not much of a limit since most open source database management systems will work on Windows as well as other operating systems but some newer versions may need more power and more current versions of the Operating System.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
