It'd also depend on what you "need"; do you want a searchable document-repository? Install a NAS and a crawler like Google Desktop. Does it need versioning? Role-based security?
If you simply want to manage some records, go for MS-Access. If you need to manage both records and files, go for Sql Server.
If you are going to install a Windows-server, then go for SharePoint. It is already paid for in that case, you might as well use it. If it is Linux, then look into Alfresco or Huddle.
Simple fact; if you need something that works as a versioning-system for documents and handles records/lists, and includes search on those, then you will be needing something "big", as there are no small DOS-commands that combine all those capabilities.

Today started at 05:30 with the cat throwing up, somewhere in the house.
Needless to say, this is my job.
OK, get coffee, faff for a bit, take Herself to work - only a bird (and it must have been a big, sick bird) pooped all over the back of my leg as I'm walking to the car...so I have to run home and change my jeans.
Drop her off, go home, stuff jeans in washing machine, go out to sort out Iris (81YO lady with a Win8 lappie that she hates, and an XP desktop she loves) - should be a quick job, update her email software so that the Lobotomised version of Mail that ships with Win8 isn't needed and she can ban email addresses. Download Live Mail, install, set up - working. Now to import her contacts...and excel crashes. And crashes, and crashes. So does Word. Turns out it's been doing this ofr a wekk or so, but she was going to mention that later...
Turns out it's a MS update: Change the default printer to XPS writer, start Excel in safe mode, disable addons, close excel, open it in normal mode, change printer back. Repeat for Word. Needless to say, this took some time and silent swearing to sort out.
All done - contacts exported from XP as CSV, imported into Excel, header row added, imported into Live Mail. Sorted, I can go home.
Nope.

Cheer up, you've made it through the first half (but there's still plenty of time for more )

Trouble is, I don't know what they look like, and one girl is 18, the other 16 - so I really don't want to know what's on their farcebook pages.
And I suspect she is going to be surprised as well...

Years back a co-worker was famous for his reasons for being late.
Us : William, why are you late?
William: I stopped at the ATM to get some cash; on the way back to the car I passed under a tree and a bird crapped on my head. I had to go home and wash my hair again.
Us : William, why are you late?
William: I woke up, but didn't think it was reality so I went back to sleep.
Us : Williams, why are you late?
Williams: Alex, who sits over there, rearended me on the way in.
Us : Alex, is that true?
Alex : Unfortunately, yes.

A lot of things about Halloween have decayed over the years, but one shining beacon of hope cheers me up year-after-year.
That, of course, is the custom and license for young ladies to dress ever so slutty. Even better, they have no qualms about traveling from home to party in their finery. I remember last year, in Penn Station, three witches with delightfully long legs wearing fishnets and . . .
. . . well, as far as I can see, voyeurism is all it's cracked up to be.

I love how people ask me to "fix" their logins, but somehow think I know what their credentials are--because they certainly have no idea.

Oh that's easy in this case.
I know more of her passwords than she does.
I have a hard time not knowing her paypal password, Amazon account password, bank card details...
In this case though, she was absolutely sure she didn't have, and never had have, a farce book account.
Certainly hadn't with her current email address. So that's another one of her passwords I know...

These stats from the wikipedia entry on the Android OS are amazing:
Wikipedia said:
Android is the most widely used mobile OS and, as of 2013, the most widely used OS overall. Android devices sell more than Windows, iOS, and Mac OS X devices combined,with sales in 2012, 2013 and 2014 close to the installed base of all PCs. As of July 2013 the Google Play store has had over 1 million Android apps published, and over 50 billion apps downloaded. A developer survey conducted in April–May 2013 found that 71% of mobile developers develop for Android. At Google I/O 2014, the company revealed that there were over 1 billion active monthly Android users, up from 538 million in June 2013.

I love Android, but I don't think it will take over the world.
Android and Apple move in cycles. Cycles in tech advances. Cycles in popularity.
My 2 cents.

Really, I agree with you, but headlines must include hyperbole or people won't read.
I just find it interesting, because it seems as if it is a quiet movement by Android.
If these stats were Apple's or Microsoft's you'd hear them all through the media.
Also, the big deal is that 71% of mobile devs build Android apps. Amazing and a powerful way to take over the market.

Combined?
And Google don't charge for it...not even a token $1...MS, take note...
I have to say that from a user perspective, Android is pretty damn good. And it seems to get better each time, unlike Windows.

That's exactly how I feel about it. Hope they keep doing good things.

There was a time when Windows got better with every version too...eventually Android will hit a ceiling and they'll start changing things for the sake of changing things.

Not too sure about that - I remember 3.11 for warehouses, ME, 2000, Vista, Win 8...
There have been some damn fine ones, don't get me wrong, but MS does seem to take it's eye off the ball in big ways from time to time, and it often seems to be Good...Bad...Good...Bad...

Windows 95 was definitely better than 3.11 for Warehouses
Windows NT 4.0 was better than 95
Windows 2000 was better than NT 4.0
Windows XP was better than 2000
Windows 7 was better than XP (we won't mention Vista *cough*)
...there definitely were plateaus though...maybe even a couple of dips...the curve has been generally upward though.
