Computer Spot

In 1984, Apple Computer introduced the Apple Macintosh personal computer.  The first version was the Macintosh 128K model which came bundled with the Mac OS operating system then known as the “System Software”.

The Mac is often credited with popularizing the graphical user interface (GUI).

The Mac OS has been pre-installed on almost every Macintosh computer ever sold.  The operating system is also sold separately from the computer just as with Microsoft Windows.

The original Mac OS was heavily based on the Lisa OS previously released by Apple for the Lisa computer in 1983.  It also used concepts from other operating systems previewed by Apple executives.

In 1984, Apple partnered with Microsoft in an agreement that would have Microsoft creating versions of Word and Excel for the Mac OS. Read the rest of this entry →

Just because there is a supercomputer displayed on a computer showroom doesn’t mean you have to buy it.

A computer can last longer but since technology advances quickly and software requires new technology that after four or five years, your new computer is considered outdated.

So what should you?  Upgrade?  Replace? Sell it?  It is not funny if you will still keep your old computer.  You can still use it for testing purposes, word-processing and internet surfing.

If you are deciding whether to upgrade or replace your computer, think again.  There are things that you still need to consider with this kind of decision especially if you have a tight budget for a new computer. Read the rest of this entry →

The mini-laptop or netbook market sure is flourishing this year. Not only smaller, lighter and more convenient to bring around, notebook is also cost efficient and stylish.

Despite the immenent recession, technological analysts are convinced that the netbook market is hardly saturated and sales next year will be as good as this year, if not better.

The fact that netbooks are much more affordable than a full-fledged laptop and they are rather powerful now seem to help its case.

One of the companies that have found new fortune through the sales of netbooks is HP. HP has achieved great sales since the introduction of its education-focused mini PC in April.

It is looking forward to repeating the success by expanding the HP Mini family with 3 new models of HP Mini 1000 line. Read the rest of this entry →

While an operating system is a central part of your computer system, knowing the definition of an operating system is not integral to knowing how to use one.

However, when you do know the definition of an operating system, you can better understand what it is doing inside your computer to make it run and to make using it easier for you.

In its basic form, the definition of an operating system is as follows: a set of computer programs that manage the hardware and software resources of a computer system. Read the rest of this entry →

In my previous post, I talked about the introduction of open source software. In this post I am going to give a review of one of the open source software programs: Open Office Software. Open office is an alternative to the other commercial Office Suite software programs.

Open Office is an office suite that was developed for Windows, Linux and Solaris operating systems. It comes with similar packages as the commercial brands, such as a word processor (Writer), spreadsheet (Calc), and presentation maker (Impress).

Also, Open office also comes with a database and drawing tool. Besides all this, Open Office is compatible with Microsoft-based office files which would allow for a mixed-suite environment. Read the rest of this entry →

An Introduction to Shareware

Visit any computer store today and you’ll find what seems like miles and miles of software on sale. Certainly enticing buys, there are a few problems with buying software off the shelves.

On the shelf, software – otherwise known as “commercial software” – can be expensive, and incompatible, and outdated when compared to what’s available online.

Fortunately, there’s an alternative to commercial software and although it isn’t new, it’s one of the most under-exploited opportunities in the computer industry. Read the rest of this entry →

They Work on Today’s Computers Too!

If you’re familiar with MS-DOS at all, you’ll recall that it’s a command-driven operating system that performs functions issued at the C:> prompt. The only way to get an MS-DOS computer to do something was to type a command at this prompt and if you can imagine, it was a rather cumbersome way to use a computer.

As an example, to load up Microsoft’s simple editing program, you had to type the name of the drive that the program was on, the directory that the program was in, and then the name of the program. So if Microsoft Edit was in a directory or folder named “Process,” you could start the program by typing, “C:>process\edit.com” Then, and only then would the program load up for use.
