Cincinnati is considered to have been the first major American boomtown rapidly expanding in the heart of the country in the early nineteenth century to rival the larger coastal cities in size and wealth. As the first major inland city in the country, it is sometimes thought of as the first purely American city, lacking the heavy European influence that was present on the east coast. Cincinnati is the third largest city in the state, and is the industrial, commercial, and cultural center for an extensive area including numerous suburbs in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.
The Computer Software Products Industry (sometimes called the independent packaged software industry) is composed of those companies which sell predefined and prepackaged computer software to the computer user community at large. Computer software provides the functionality to do tasks ranging from writing a letter on the computer, to the more complex task of organizing and analyzing large data sets. Computer software is usually regarded as anything but hardware, meaning that the "hard" are the parts that are tangible (able to hold) while the "soft" part is the intangible objects inside the computer. Computer software has to be "loaded" into the computer's storage (such as a hard drive, memory, or RAM).
