12 Things You Can Never Have Enough Of - RD212

<h2>Do you have enough of these?</h2> <p>When it comes to running a home-based design business, there are some things you can never have enough of. Here's a list of twelve you should consider.</p> <h2 class="p1">1) Printer supplies</h2> <p>You should always make sure you have spare ink cartridges and extra paper on hand. It's never fun when you need to print something, and you can't because one of your ink cartridges is empty of you ran out of paper.</p> <h2 class="p1">2) Input devices</h2> <p>It's always a good idea to have a spare input device for your computer. Perhaps an extra mouse, trackpad, trackball or pen and tablet to operate your computer. Should something happen to your primary instrument, you'll be glad you had a spare.</p> <h2 class="p1">3) Digital storage space</h2> <p>When it comes to graphic/web design, you can never have enough storage space for your digital files.

Chances are, you'll end up glad you did.</p> <h2 class="p1">4) RAM</h2> <p>Whenever you purchase a new computer, you should try to maximize the amount of RAM you get.
