You were just hired by Mrs. Filberts Cookie Corporation as the network analyst. Your first job is to plan for the installation of an appropriate LAN. In interviewing personnel at Mrs. Filberts, you noted that all employees do the following work during the eight- hour workday :

1. Load a cookie sales program of 640K ten times per day.

2. Save the revised cookie sales program ten times per day.

3. Load a cookie design program of 640K ten times per day.

4. Print trial cookie designs of 10M twice per day.
