Personal Computers: Inside and Out
1998
This site is designed to help students learn about personal computers: how they work, their various parts, and their history. The computer's functions, a vocabulary of terms, operating systems, hardware, a historical time line, and a bibliography page all help users obtain a better understanding of this subject. An image map will also help students understand the inner workings of a computer. Different types of computer viruses are also discussed.
