Computers 101

[smashupfate]

People of New York! I've noticed that a lot of new arrivals seem pretty mystified with the strange technology they find here. However, there's no need to be! Today, I'm going to peel away the layers of mystery surrounding these advanced machines, and tell you everything you need to know about personal computing

.....how come the screen blinks out when I hit it?

(OOC: yes, the answer seems self-explainetory, but....)

[smashupfate]

Because you're breaking it. My advice would be to stop hitting it.

[halfthesky]

Hitting it always works for me.

[smashupfate]

What is it with you people and breaking the computers?

[blackcontractor]

But wait, I thought the screen part was called the monitor. Was I mistaken?

[smashupfate]

No, I'm pretty sure it's called a terminal.

[blackcontractor]

Hmm...I could've sworn a different part of certain computers was the terminal...

[smashupfate]

Certain computers? They've all got terminals, otherwise you'd have a hard time using them.

[greengooseberry]

I'm not sure I entirely understand!

[smashupfate]

What do you still need help with?

[greengooseberry]

Well ... any of it, really! I have to say this is all still Greek to me!

[smashupfate]

Uh... you seem to be doing okay with it so far. Just don't eat the mouse or anything and you should be fine.
