Shopping: In-store or E-commerce

Being a ladies can never run away from entering retail outlet at least once a day. :)

Right now, there are so much alternatives for us ladies to splurge our desires on clothes, makeup, handbags and so much more. The common/famous alternatives are shopping in-store (which is very very common) and e-commerce shopping.

So what actually are those?

A retailer or shop is a business that presents a selection of goods or services and offers to sell them to customers for money or other goods. Shoppingis an activity in which a customer browses the available goods or services presented by one or more retailers with the intent to purchase a suitable selection of them.

O & G

The previous post of comparing between a Mainframe and Midrange computer is very much related to my day to day work in one of the oil and gas company. There are so many systems that are under Mainframe and Midrange scope. I am taking myself as an example, my everyday workloads handling both systems.
You might ask, what are Mainframe and Midrange systems?
What i do everyday is..........

1. From Mainframe System:
TSO, SAPR2, TSOTOR(ISPW, SAP R2, DB2, ADI, ADABAS), RACF, VM, INFOPAC, SOCRATES

2. From Midrange System:
AS400, ORACLE/ARSTDO (TOAD), WSIS, UNIX, CITRIX, SQL, UC4, MAXIMO

Mainframe versus Midrange

Mainframe A very large and expensive computer capable of supporting hundreds, or even thousands, of users simultaneously. Although the term mainframe first described the physical characteristics of early systems, today it can best be used to describe a style of operation, applications, and operating system facilities.

Midrange In general, midrange refers to computers that are more powerful and capable than personal computers but less powerful and capable than mainframe computers. Midrange computers have been sold to small to medium-sized businesses as their main computer and to larger enterprises for branch or department-level operations.
