A computer is a programmable machine that receives input, stores and manipulates data//information, and provides output in a useful format.

While a computer can, in theory, be made out of almost anything (see misconceptions section), and mechanical examples of computers have existed through much of recorded human history, the first electronic computers were developed in the mid-20th century (1940–1945). Originally, they were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers (PCs). Modern computers based on integrated circuits are millions to billions of times more capable than the early machines, and occupy a fraction of the space. Simple computers are small enough to fit into mobile devices, and can be powered by a small battery. Personal computers in their various forms are icons of the Information Age and are what most people think of as "computers". However, the embedded computers found in many devices from MP3 players to fighter aircraft and from toys to industrial robots are the most numerous.

How can I attach two computers to one surround sound system, and have them use it at the same time?
Q. I have an alienware gaming computer, and I am planing on getting another computer vary soon. The one I have right now is attached to a surround sound system, and it sounds awsome. The other computer I am getting is going to be a multi-media computer, and I would like to connect it to the same surround sound system. I would like to listen to music, and play games at the same time. How can I have both computers attached to the surround sound system, and have them both use it simaltaniously? I would like to use the optical input on my system too. So how would I have both computers connected with optical cables at the same time?

A. I doubt its possible. I have set up about 4 surround sound systems. All of them require to switch to the input/component before the signal can output to the speakers. So computer 1 would get it while computer 2 wouldnt be picked up by the receiver. what i recommend is that, if you have a sound blaster with the internal drive with the connectors, have the media pc spdif out into the alienware and have it played there, while outputting the alienware to the surround sound system.

How to share files with my other computers?
Q. I just bought a new PC for my room. It is using a wireless adapter, not a cable. I also have an old computer in my basement, which hold all my school work. I want to send my school work to my new computer, but I don't have a USB flash drive. Is there a way to share files with other computers at home? Old computer is using windows vista, and the new one is using windows 7.

system to get access You first type in your library card number and a password at a reservation terminal which then assigns you to an available PC or puts you on a waiting list Why not just attach card readers to each PC and let users swipe their library cards I guess the reservation desk serves a purpose if all the PC stations are full but that seems unlikely
