Under what circumstances would a user bebetter off using a time-sharing system rather than a pc or asingle-user workstation?

Time and Money

Explanation:

Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.

A time-shared system has its benefits compared to a PC or single-user workstation. Firstly, if more than one person is working on the same project it can save time instead of finishing a part on a single-user workstation and having to move, upload and download constant information.

Secondly, and most importantly is probably the amount of money or investment needed for for more than one workstation. Having a time-shared system saves a huge amount of money for a company especially if the company is tight on a budget.
