Whoa!

This question is way outdated and shouldn't even be included in a class taught today.

Your scenario is not probable today. All employees have access to email and company programs all of the time.

What if the company has a centralized computer system but needs to outfit its employees with computers. Would it be safe to say that they should purchase laptop for all their traveling employees with a wireless card to allow them access to company programs and email while travels. While I agree this question is totally outdated I doubt that if that was my answer that I would get full credit. :O)
