my in-laws recently bought an auto repair shop in St. Helena, CA (Napa area).
their paperwork jungle is getting to them, and they are wondering if having
a PC-type computer would help.  so far, i have been unable to determine quite
what all they do, but i'm working on it.  presumably, those should be the
key questions a small business computer store would ask.
	anybody out there have experience with this sort of thing?  what would
they need?  preferences for software/hardware?  what questions should i ask?
	i suspect they will need a database of some kind for inventory and
supplier lists, and something for accounts receivable/payable.
	gratefully yours, ...
