The Sorrento Hotel is a four-star hotel in downtown Montreal. The hotel€™s operations vice- president would like to replace the hotel€™s antiquated computer terminals at the registration desk with attractive state-of-the-art flat-panel displays. The new displays would take less space; consume less power; and provide additional security, since they can be viewed only from a restrictive angle. The new computer displays would not require any new wiring. The hotel€™s chef believes the funds would be better spent on a new bulk freezer for the kitchen.
