A few articles on computers
There is a little redundancy in the following articles, but probably not enough to
hurt, when you stumble on something you have seen before, consider it a refresher.
A more serious problem is that, some of these articles were written in 2001, so are
getting pretty old in computer years. Particularly out of date would be any prices
and any performance metrics. Take with a little salt. Double your money back
if you find any substantive errors.
