and I fond this text

"There are plenty of people out there using their computers that have absolutely no idea even what Windows version they're running, let alone what CPU/motherboard/video card might be sitting inside their "CPU" (as most of them seem to call it)." - Mike


and I was thinking what is the real name of the so called "CPU, HHD ,Big Box thingy" I have always called it an HHD but we all know a HHD is a small thing inside the case so whats the case and every thing named?

*I dont think its computer because that would be the screen, keyboard, mouse and so on*

249430 2004-07-03 07:18:00 I like to call it the System Unit. Sounds fair to me. agent_24 (4330)

A computer computes. The screen doesn't compute things, neither does a keyboard or mouse. A screen is an output device, and keyboard and mouse are input devices. Theoretically you can run your computer without them. You can't run much without the "box" :|

249436 2004-07-03 12:00:00 well i suppose it all depends on how you define computing and on what level. agent_24 (4330)
