We covered Chapters 7 and 8 today. First up was Chapter 7, dealing with printers -- different types and how we get them hooked up to our computers. Remember the differences between the different types (of printers and connectors). Chapter 8 was over the portable computer which, somewhat disappointingly, is pretty much like a standard desktop computer, except that it's more compact. Heat's an even bigger issue though. Make sure you can tell me the difference between Type I, II and III PCMCIA cards and that you know the basics on how the LCD screen on the notebook computer works.
Next week, we have the first Checkpoint exam, which will cover everything we've talked about thus far in the book -- pretty much all of the hardware portion of this class. I know that I've virtually covered you up with information, and believe me, I understand how overwhelming that can be. Please try not to let the overwhelming feelings bog you down -- judging from where I stand, having seen dozens of other students at the same point you are, you're doing very well. If you really hit the books hard this week, I have no doubt you all will pass the test with flying colors.
Homework:
- No homework, other than to bust yourself silly studying for this crazy test.
