My First Experience With a Computer

I cannot forget how excited I was when I first bought my own computer. Like a mother who spends time sewing and knitting for her newborn baby, I spent hours and hours to sparkle my computer. I waited a long time to buy a brand new computer. I had to work more hours and saved money to buy a computer. I did not want to buy a cheap computer, but I wanted to buy a professional one. Was I professional on computer? No! I was not. I did not even know how to type, but I was sure that my expensive com puter could make me a computer expert. 17 inches monitor, color printer, two speakers and well-designed fancy keyboard made me just happy by looking at them on my desk.

What I knew about my computer was how to turn on and off by pressing the big button at the bottom of my computer. I turned on the computer and had no idea what to do next, but I was still happy. I just clicked on everything and did not know how t o go back to the previous screen. Whenever I had problems with my computer, I just turned off the computer. It was pretty simple to clear my computer problems by pressing the power switch. The power switch was a problem solver.

Realizing an expensive computer could not make me a computer genius did not take a long time. Whenever my computer was on, I started to have a headache because I did not know what I was doing. When I tried new things on my computer, it always st opped me with warning signs. I could not understand what my computer wanted me to do.

My computer really needed to have serious counseling sessions. When I was at home alone, I disciplined my computer. "Hey! You computer listen. I do not think you know who you are. I am the one who tells you what to do. I am a commander, and y ou are my servant. If I tell you to draw a picture, you need to draw me a picture. Do you understand? How dare you to show me stop sign! Please do not tell me what to do. Who is the commander here? You just follow what I tell you to do."

Sitting in front of my computer was painful for me.

    The lessee must record the rights and obligations associated with all leases as a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding liability with the present value of future lease payments. In another word, the impact on the balance sheet for both capital and operating leases is the same at original recognition. However, the effect on the subsequent income statement and cash flow would be significant different based on the lease’s classification. For income statement purpose, lessees of capital leases should recognize amortization expense on ROU asset and interest expense on the lease liability separately, whic...

    People have been in awe of computers since they were first invented. At first scientist said that computers would only be for government usage only. “Then when the scientists saw the potential computers had, scientist then predicted that by 1990 computers may one day invade the home of just about ever citizen in the world” (“History” Internet), the scientists were slightly wrong, because by 1990 computers were just beginning to catch on. Then a few years later when scientists when to major corporations to get help with a special project, the corporations said no, because computers would just be a fad and they wouldn’t make much money off of it. “By definition Abacus is the first computer (the proper definition of a computer is one who or that which computes) ever invented” (Internet).

    Primary tuberculosis is the initial infection of the host, usually being mild and asymptomatic. A healthy person recently infected with the mycobacterium may exhibit flu-like symptoms and has no reason to suspect tuberculosis. Left untreated, the bacilli infect and multiply within pulmonary alveolar macrophages, migrating to the hilar lymph nodes. An immune response is exhibited by the T-helper cells, and inflammation develops at multiple sites. A person may test positive in the tuberculin skin test at this point, and a chest x-ray may shows opacities in the lungs.

Fortunately, PC’s are becoming more and more user friendly as the technology improves. Fewer errors, less maintenance and quicker functioning should encourage many reluctant people to finally step into the new era.

  • My Experience at the Brazil Fest

    Brazil Fest was a success. It provided students and others as a source of entertainment and helped contribute to illustrating social customs of another country. I personally found attending to be a dumb idea at first but was glad that I attended. I also feel that going by myself made it easier for me to interact with others and get their views otherwise I more than likely would have stayed with my own social circle and would have missed out on meeting new people and seeing and learning what they are thinking. I hope that one day I am able to attend the real carnival in Brazil and get the full experience of the culture and customs of the country.

My sister, thinking that you had to push the CD-ROM tray for it to close, broke it's tray (I nearly killed her). After this my next goal was to install a new CD-ROM. We sent the old one in (since it was still under warrantee) and had a new one sent out. I did go on and install my first piece of hardware; it was a thing of beauty. Now I was on my way. I was finally learning how to install components on a computer.
