Class #4 Parts is Parts

     This class was really interesting for me.  While I've always kinda known what parts of a computer do in a very general sense, I still always felt as though they were still too confusing. Now that is a different story.
     Now I feel as though I might actually be able to go out and make my own computer. It will be more of a hassle but is looking to be more of a challenge I may want to take on in the future.
 
     The presentations about each component, along with the video by Dave on how to build a PC has made it look a lot easier than I once first thought.  I've had friends who've made them, but they're also complete computer nerds.... so "easy" for them doesn't necessarily equate "easy" for me.
    I also completed the anti-virus research and the data back up plan in time for this class.  Those two assignments were very enlightening.   As a Mac user, I still need to worry about viruses, but not to the Nth degree like PC users.  However, as we Mac users get more and more mainstream, we have to start looking out for ourselves.  But, then again, a little common sense goes a long way in preventing viruses.

I don't have a lot to comment on this time, as my comments will be left with the presentations.  But this was one of the best classes for me.  I just may have to make myself a computer one of these days.

(I wonder how much cheaper or better it works out to be?)
