    #1 Id like to stick my floppy in her drive. #2 The SAGE was going to be done but never was because usa agreed to remove missiles from turkey if soviets took theirs from cuba, even though we all know there back..... looks like they still proceeded with it though

    The Personal Computer is a Lie. There's nothing on there besides doing homework, storing files for work, listening to music and the internet. Nobody uses it. Nobody knows how to use it. Nobody cares about it. People build it up as something we all need in life. Its only for work and machinery. it just sits there. There are many things we think about in life. How impractical the personal computer is is one of them.

    8-Bits is 8 Binary Digits whereas 12-Bits are 12 Binary Digits. Binary Digits are Digits used in a System to process information. OS' stands for Operating Systems. ROM stands for Read-Only Memory. If only Computer Science would teach students straight forward instead of the run-around balogny then Education would be much more fun and learningful. Science has been lately defined as Knowledge. So when I use the word Computer Science it means Computer Knowledge.

    Wow, I love it. This may sound a bit Sci-fi but I believe the creation reflects the creator & computers are a way we can understand our plain of existence. One day we will create intelligent life in computers only to find out we are intelligent life in a computer. I often can't find things I'm looking for until I state in words the thing I'm looking for then I suddenly find it as if it appeared in the next place I looked. Try it. Think of yourself as self programmable & change it for fun.

    @scratchyrice ah no. it was the poles who cracked it first in 1932 and gave their machine and decryption techniques to the british in 1939.

    @VideozJudge server are general only used and MADE to be a server, like huge RAM bank (256gb) and multiple CPU. workstation is a small compact an silent computer (single CPU and small amount of RAM) that can be used as a small useless server or as there main purpuse : surf the internet, write things, and normal paperwork stuff.

    @scratchyrice In Dec1932, the Polish Cipher Bureau first broke Germany's Enigma ciphers. Five weeks before the outbreak of WW II, on 25 July 1939, Cipher Bureau gave Enigma-decryption techniques and equipment to French and British military intelligence. allied codebreakers were able to decrypt a vast number of messages that had been enciphered using the Enigma. The intelligence gleaned from this source, codenamed "Ultra" by the British, was a substantial aid to the Allied war effort.

    @heartlessvietboy There is a way to boot up quicker: Many of those small 8-bit systems of the 1980s had ther rudimentary OS'es built into them, in the form of ROM chips. Many of those systems also accepted "cartrudges"; little boxes with more ROM chips in them, which plugged into a port on the computer. The OS, plus any cartridge software yoy may have plugged in, was ready to use a second or two after power-up. Usually, the CRT displays of the day was the last part of the system to get ready.
