Intel has more gigabytes and giga-hard-drives, usually 3gig space normally. It's usually found in macs, but you can find it in some PCs. AMD is not a very good piece of software because it has less space in the computer. That's why you have to get a converter cable to transfer the files into different packages to minimize space wasted.

Intel is much better... Almost every single mac application runs on it including the iphone. Intel is an affordable gaming PC. It doesnt take as much space, tons of room, 3 gig...[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Tools;27835341]Where and how exactly can you learn to touch type? I too only use two fingers, and very rarely can I use more.[/QUOTE]

You just have to try and practice.
You should avoid assigning a certain key to a certain finger, like letting only your index finger press 'E', 'D' and 'C' (instead you should probably let both your index finger and middle finger for those keys) with a few exceptions like your thumb (and maybe your pinky), which should be used for space (or your pinky for lshift and lctrl).

If you already have a rough image on where each key is without looking on your keyboard, you should put your left index finger on 'F' and your right index finger on 'J'. That's because there are bumps on those keys so you know where your fingers are on your keyboard without looking.
You should avoid using your index finger for everything if that is what you do right now. You should probably completely avoid typing any character with any pinky and use your left pinky for shift and ctrl and probably leave your right pinky alone. You should probably use your index finger for characters like ][';/ and the , and use your middle finger for the period. But it all depends on where your fingers are after you typed your last word. Sometimes your middle finger is closer to the comma than your index finger

Those are all my preferences and you should not literally do the same but try out fingers you are comfortable with and maybe use what I typed above for if you want to get the idea.

whew sorry for this long post

Cat5E can be used as telephone as well, I do think there are some phones that use Ethernet since it is labeled as phone too, for some reason. Like the RJ45 connectors, I mean. I just did low voltage wiring for a house a few weeks ago.

It has an intel processor because intel processors have a lot of space! They can store a lot!
It runs Vista Ultimate, because I like speed and don't need all the features in Home Premium. It also has a faster internet connection.
Instead of getting an external hard drive, I'm going to get bluetooth! Wireless! Time Capsule!
Actually, the computer came with one of those little external bluetooths.
As you probably guessed, it's very super fast, and has lots of features inside it!
I like gaming PC's because you can download so much onto them!
And that's my gaming PC.

You can get more detailed information about processors here:

My dad bought RAM a few days ago, and was bragging about how fast his computer was.
Then, my mom wanted to buy RAM.
At first she was adamant on 4 GB, even though she has Windows XP 32 bit, and the most extensive application she uses is Powerpoint.
After 10 minutes, I was barely able to convince her to lower to 3.

In my web class we had our first test. It was simple things like "What is the difference between a web browser and a search engine?", "What is the name of the browser that Google has created?", etc. so of course I got a 100% on it.

Then I found out that out of the 40 students, only 7 had passed, including me.

I'm angry at this country again. The head of the CRTC, Konrad von Finckenstein (Who's name sounds like a bond villain) stated that: "You only have to worry about the 25GB cap if you're a heavy video user or are playing three-dimensional games."

Wonderful, just wonderful. The head of the CRTC, managing decisions for the entire country's communication infrastructure, is a computer illiterate.

They should put people who actually know what they're doing in front of the tech stuff instead of business guys whose only experience with computers is telling the assistant to make a spreadsheet.

kids in my networking class got the question on the midterm that was what is 4^0 aka 4 to the power of 0.

Also on that test, it was open note (yes we actually have to take notes on this crap) and "open google". The teacher let us use google. And still almost everyone failed.

I didn't have to use google or the notes
