Answer:

During the 1990s, IBM's major domestic competitors in the personal computer industry were Hewlett-Packard, Compaq, Dell and Apple.

Explanation:

IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Compaq and Dell all used OS developed by Microsoft (early versions of Windows) while Apple developed its own OS. Apple's computers were the most user friendly PCs, but also the most expensive. That led to a decrease in Apple's share of the PC market since there competitors were not only cheaper, they were getting even cheaper as time passed.

IBM was considered the prime PC maker in the world, and the rest of the PC makers marketed their products as IBM clones during the 1990s.

I don't think there's anything more annoying than the ISP monopolies, specifically Comcast which has most of the US I believe. They never bother to upgrade their services only their prices and stupid cable bundle packages. I'm lucky enough to live in a large metropolitan area where a new fiber internet company just started up but before this last year there were only two ISP choices; Comcast or Century link. Suburban and rural areas typically only get one choice; expensive slow internet service from a local ISP monopoly.

Option D is correct.

Explanation:

Employee compensation is a system that is publicly sponsored and pays financial benefits to employees who are injured during their work. The coverage of the employee is an insurance form that provides compensation for accidents or handicaps suffered by its employees.

The workers ' compensation act guaranteed that all employees injured at work received daily insurance and paid for hospital costs. By return, disabled workers earned the right to sue their bosses and supervisors for wrongdoing and earned the right to claim damages for pain and misery.

The payment for employees is basically a scheme of no consequence if the wounded employee is not at issue with the negligence of its own responsibility or the misconduct of his or her boss or friends, but only for his or her labor-related injuries is included in the injured workplace.

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

c. Because X's failure to disclose the condition of the faucet is not material.

Explanation:

In order to consider X's failure as material and therefore allowing Y to rescind the contract, the failure to disclose must involve an element of the contract that is in such a bad condition that it would make the contract as "irreparably broken".

In this case, contract law provides other remedies that Y can use to try to make X pay for the repairs, but Y cannot unilaterally rescind the contract.
