Instructions for the PowerPoint assignment:
Most of you have the PowerPoint component in your book, so you can just read these instructions in the book. This is only for the one or two of you that do not yet have that book (and will self-destruct in one week).

Installing OpenOffice:

Some of you do not have Microsoft Office at home, or do not have certain components of Microsoft Office. If so, this blogpost is directed towards you. Otherwise, not. I would not tell you to get Microsoft Office 2007, which seems to be the only one currently being sold in stores. Do not get it because the user interface is so different that you may have difficulties doing the homework, or applying what we learned in class. Instead, I would suggest you download and install OpenOffice.org, which is a free clone of Microsoft Office. There are slight differences from Microsoft Office, but it will be fairly straightforward to transfer what you learned in class, and vice versa.

Here is a video walkthrough of doing this:

HW: computerscience12@gmail.com

CPU - Central Processing Unit
ALU - Arithmetic / Logic Unit
Control Unit

Control Unit keeps track of instruction to be
carried out. We fetch the data and
instructions from RAM. ALU works on
it. The control unit will update
to point to the next instruction.

RAM - Random Access Memory - you can get anywhere in equal time.
