I would like to know what the best configuration is for my controller so I can play Zelda comfortably.
Please, if you know this, make the configuration clear, so I can understand.
I am a student in high school and want an iMac for school. What would be the best configuration and at the best price? I am not planning on installing any games on it.
Can anybody simply explain me the difference between configuration management and change control in a project ? are there any similarities ?
What are advantages and disadvantages of each ?
Note – I do not know what configuration management and change control are. I am so grateful to anyone who could describe these two concepts very simply. I would prefer to have project related examples.
Thanks in advance
10 points for sure for the best answer !!!!!!!!
