  25. CD Writer Compact Disc-Recordable: also referred to as Compact Disc-Write Once (CD-WO). A type of disk drive that can create CD-ROMs and audio CDs, allowing users to "master" discs for subsequent publishing. Source: http://www.pctechguide.com/09cdr-rw.htm System Components - Internal

  26. Serial Port The circuits and connector that facilitate communication between a computer and serial devices such as printers, modems, plotters, mice, and custom laboratory equipment. On a PC, this socket is a DB-9 or DB-25 male connector. It is a full-duplex device, using separate lines for transmitting and receiving data at the same time. Maximum throughput is 115.2 Kbit/s. Also called a COM or communications port.

  27. Parallel Port An I/O channel for a parallel device, like a printer, which sends and receives data eight bits at a time over 8 separate wires. Maximum throughput is around 500 Kbit/s. Increasingly, other devices such as removable storage drives, scanners etc. share the printer parallel port using a "pass through" mechanism.

  28. Network Interface Card NIC: a card that is installed in a computer system to provide network communication capabilities to and from that computer. Source: http://www.pctechguide.com/29network.htm System Components - Internal

  29. Peripherals • Digital Camera • Scanner

  30. Digital Camera A camera that stores images on an internal memory chip, removable PC cards, or other digital media. Images can be transferred electronically to a computer for manipulation, e-mailing or website creation. Source: http://www.pctechguide.com/19digcam.htm Peripherals

  31. Scanner A device that reads a printed page and converts it into a graphics image for the computer. It works by digitizing an image - converting everything on the page (text and graphics objects) - into one raster graphics image. The resulting matrix of bits, or bitmap, can then be stored in a file, displayed on a screen and manipulated by programs. Source: http://www.pctechguide.com/18scanners.htm Peripherals

  32. Networking • Cable – Cat 5 • Username • Password • Domain • Server • Router • Firewall

  33. Cable – Cat 5 Cat5 stands for Category 5 - cabling that enables computers to hook up to a Local Area Network. Networking

  34. Password a word that only you know that you type into the computer to open your Internet account or for access to certain web sites Networking

  35. Username the name you use to log on to the network, usually one assigned to you by your service provider Networking

  36. Firewall A firewall provides a buffer - implemented either in hardware or software, or combination of both - that resides between an internal network and the Internet. It can be configured to allow only specific kinds of messages from the Internet to pass to the internal network, thereby protecting it from intruders or hackers who might try to use the Internet to break into those systems.

  37. Domain Name Networking

  38. Router Networking

  39. Server A computer that provides network stations with controlled access to shareable resources. The network operating system is loaded on the file server, and most shareable devices (disk subsystems, printers) are attached to it. The file server controls system security and monitors station-to-station communications. A dedicated file server can be used only as a file server while it is on the network. A non-dedicated file server can be used simultaneously as a file server and a workstation.

  40. Format/Initialize Disk Create Folders File versus Folder Desktop Drag Icon Cache Clipboard Menu Menu Bar Scrolling Screen Saver Characters Window Toolbox Operating Systems

  41. Toolbox Many software applications, especially ones with paint options, come with a toolbox, which appears on the screen in the form of a palette. Operating Systems

  42. Window rectangular frame on the screen in which you see and work with a particular software application Operating Systems

  43. Characters letters, numbers, and symbols that are used on your keyboard Operating Systems

  44. Screen Saver If you leave your computer on for a long time, the image can burn onto the screen, a screensaver is a software application that blanks the screen and replaces the screen with a non-harmful picture. Operating Systems

  45. Scrolling the movement of text up and down on a screen Operating Systems

  46. Menu Bar is the listing on the top of the desktop, the pull down menus are located there Operating Systems

  47. Menu is an on-screen display listing your choices within a program Operating Systems

  48. Clipboard is a location inside the computer where items that have been selected are temporarily stored, information remains on the clipboard until something new is placed there or the computer is shut down Operating Systems

  49. Cache There are many kinds of cache, as in memory caches for things like RAM or video memory, but usually refers to a web cache--A web cache is used by web browsers to make web page access quicker. Caching means that whenever you go to a site, every web page you see is downloaded to your hard drive. Then, whenever you go back to the page, it is loaded from your hard drive instead of from the actual internet server. It takes up a lot of space on your hard drive. You should empty your cache every few days to clear up your hard drive and to get updated information from the web page. Operating Systems

  50. Icon a small picture or symbol of a computer command or function These are examples of Icons. Operating Systems
