Day 2 of studying about computers via reading a textbook. I am allotting 1 hour of reading per day. I have completed the first chapter. Thus far I've learned: 8 bits equal a byte, a nibble is 4 bits (or 1/2 a byte), there are 3 types of computer numbering systems - decimal, binary, and hexadecimal, the difference between parallel and serial data transfer, RAM means "random access memory", and a computer joke I now understand: "There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary numbers and those who don't" Bahaha!

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Well done! I worked as an account manager for an IT company a little while ago coming from a users angle rather than tech. That was one of my most challenging jobs. Hope it all goes well for you

I have been retired for over 23 year and needed a hobby to help occupy my free time. I chose computers and started out just knowing how to turn it on, play Sol, turn it off and nothing else. I have built many computers and learned enough on my own to help many people who needs help with just about anything pertaining to computers. I have Windows, Linux, Macs, Android and Chrome PCs and have gotten so much pleasure playing with them and helping people. I wish you success with your learning about them.
YouTube is your friend.
