Classification of Computers


Classification of Computers

 by: John Gibb

Computers are available in different shapes, sizes and weights, due to these different shapes and sizes they perform different sorts of jobs from one another.

They can also be classified in different ways. All the computers are designed by the qualified computer architectures that design these machines as their requirements.

A computer that is used in a home differs in size and shape from the computer being used in a hospital. Computers act as a server in large buildings, while the computer also differs in size and shape performing its job as a weather forecaster.

A student carrying a laptop with him to his college is different in shape and size from all the computers mentioned above.

Here we are going to introduce different classifications of computers one by one. We will discuss what are in classifications and what job they perform.

Super computer

The biggest in size, the most expensive in price than any other is classified and known as super computer. It can process trillions of instructions in seconds. This computer is not used as a PC in a home neither by a student in a college.

Governments specially use this type of computer for their different calculations and heavy jobs. Different industries also use this huge computer for designing their products.

In most of the Hollywoods movies it is used for animation purposes. This kind of computer is also helpful for forecasting weather reports worldwide.

Mainframes

Another giant in computers after the super computer is Mainframe, which can also process millions of instruction per second and capable of accessing billions of data.

This computer is commonly used in big hospitals, air line reservations companies, and many other huge companies prefer mainframe because of its capability of retrieving data on a huge basis.

This is normally to expensive and out of reach from a salary-based person who wants a computer for his home.

This kind of computer can cost up to thousands of dollars.

Minicomputer

This computer is next in he line but less offers less than mainframe in work and performance. These are the computers, which are mostly preferred by the small type of business personals, colleges, etc.

Personal computers

Almost all the computer users are familiar with the personal computers. They normally know what the personal computer is and what are its functions.

This is the computer mostly preferred by the home users. These computers are lesser in cost than the computers given above and also, small in size; they are also called PCs in short for Personal computers.

This computer is small in size and you can easily arrange it to fit in your single bedroom with its all accommodation. Today this is thought to be the most popular computer in all.

Notebook computers

Having a small size and low weight the notebook is easy to carry to anywhere. A student can take it with him/her to his/her school in his/her bag with his/her book.

This is easy to carry around and preferred by students and business people to meet their assignments and other necessary tasks.

The approach of this computer is also the same as the Personal computer. It can store the same amount of data and having a memory of the same size as that of a personal computer. One can say that it is the replacement of personal desktop computer.

Computer Headsets


Headsets have become an integral part of the computer. They are useful while chatting, for voice recognition, listening to music and gaming. Looks and the price are generally the only things considered while buying a headset. But most people do not realize that there are other aspects to a computer headset than just the basic functionality.



Use of computers in offices has become the norm, and this has increased the need for the right kind of equipment to accompany those computers. VoIP applications and video conferencing are two applications, which can be enhanced by the use of superior quality headsets. Use of headsets reduces neck, back and should strain considerably resulting in fewer workers' compensation claims and increasing productivity.



There are two kinds of computer headset connections: analog and digital. Computer headsets that use the USB (Universal Serial Bus) technology are currently much in demand. USB technology is more advanced than the sound card. providing very good digital sound quality.



Aspects to be taken into account when buying a computer headset are: the external noise level; the cost of the headset and possible parts and repair costs and warranties, the brand, the product range available. Whether you need corded or wireless, the kind of ear piece (monaural/ binaural), the kind of phone or computer connection used with the headset (Bluetooth, USB, 3.5mm/ Analog), the compatibility (to music), the kind of computer usage (VoIP, Computer Gaming), the range of bass/treble, the power of the speakers, sound quality, durability and comfort.



The basic aspects to be considered while buying a computer headset are: is it comfortable? Does it stay securely in place for long hours? Is the microphone flexible and unobtrusive? Is the cord long enough for easy movement? Are the volume and other controls easily accessible? Is the sound quality on both the lines clear? Etc.



The leading manufacturers of headsets are Plantronics, GN Netcom, Headsets.com, Sennheiser, Jabra, and Sony. Headsets are also very inexpensive, depending on the kind of model. A good decent pair of headphones would cost around $10 though an extremely advanced model with all the works may go up to $150-$200 or beyond. The Internet is a good source for locating the ideal headset. There are several web sites that provide comprehensive information about the wide range of headsets available in the market today.





Wireless Headsets provides detailed information on headsets, wireless headsets, phone headsets, aviation headsets and more. Wireless Headsets is affiliated with Telecom Audits Info.

Wireless Lan And Laptop Computers


A small business run from home or on rented space, while it can be extremely profitable, cannot be furnished in the same style as a large-scale company office. Using standard full-size desktop computers in such a set up is impracticable, as it takes up too much space and is too bulky for cramped confines. To deal with such a situation, desknotes or transportables may just hold the key.



Desknotes are systems that can be alternately used as a standard desktop PC, but also offers portability into the bargain. Desknotes have the same power levels as a desktop PC and occupy much less room. Moreover, to keep expenses to a minimum, it is possible to install a LAN amongst the desknotes, where only one laptop need be connected to the Internet and access is shared to all the laptops connected to the network. This is also true for the devices connected to the central laptop; through LAN, all the laptops can use the same device. Thus, for small offices with three or more laptops, LAN (Local Area Network) is surely a boon.



LANs usually span a building or a small group of buildings. Connecting one LAN with many others through telephone lines and radio waves is called WAN (Wide Area Network). A Local Area Network that uses radio waves to communicate is called WLAN (Wireless Land Area Network). There are several advantages to WLANs. One is its flexibility. Radio waves can pass through walls of nearly any surface, and also do not require miles and miles of cables, thus offering a clutter-free work atmosphere. Wireless LAN can be almost invisible!



Another advantage is that WLANs are extremely easy to use. Most laptops are built in with WLAN capability. So all you need to do is plug in and make sure you have a wireless LAN card. WLANs are very tough. If one base becomes disconnected, it is possible to use another laptop as a base and can be shifted physically into the range of another WLAN. Prices are very low these days for WLAN, and it is no wonder the choice for home networks.



However, as nothing is perfect in this world, WLAN does carry a few disadvantages. Anyone can operate a laptop near a WLAN and hack into the stored wireless traffic. This makes safety an issue due to the loss of privacy. While radio waves can pass through almost any surface, too many obstacles in the path such as buildings can degrade the transmission. Another drawback is the data transfer speed. As many laptops share the same bandwidth, data transfer speeds are significantly lower in a WLAN. In addition to this, wireless data rates fall according to signal strength or interference.



Wireless LAN is convenient where mobility is required, and is the only choice in old buildings where cables cannot be installed. Companies usually provide wired connections for fixed offices, and wireless LAN for those users who have no fixed location. In the end, WLAN should be installed only after taking into account all factors regarding your office or home set up.

Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing


Computer aided manufacturing or CAM is the process of using specialized computers to communicate instructions directly to the manufacturing machinery. It can control, monitor and adjust tools and machinery in the manufacturing process. Computer aided manufacturing makes use of algorithms for planning and controlling the fabrication processes. CAM has become an industry standard in all major manufacturing industries.



Once a product has been designed it needs to be manufactured. Manufacturers use machine tools, which are computer controlled. As a result it is imperative that CAD and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) technology be fully integrated.



CAM technology has evolved from the numerically controlled machines of the 1950s. Those machines used a set of coded instructions contained in a punched paper tape. Recent technology has made it possible for a single computer to control milling machines, lathes and welding machines. It is capable of robotically controlling the product and moving it from machine to machine in each step of the manufacturing process. Advanced systems also control and manage tasks like parts ordering, scheduling and tool replacement. It is used in mechanical engineering, electronic design automation and to prepare printed circuit boards.



CAM systems verify the data and are capable of converting computer language data to a numerically controlled code. This simplifies the machining and designing process. CAM systems work alongside a CAD design in a 3D environment. CAM software is capable of controlling a machine like a lathe or miller.



Through the use of CAM, a factory can become highly automated, through systems such as real-time control and robotics. A CAM system usually seeks to control the production process through varying degrees of automation. As each manufacturing processes in a CAM system is computer controlled, a high degree of precision that would not be possible without the CAM system can be achieved.



Computer aided manufacturing can be used to facilitate the process of creating small batches of products that are custom designed to suit each particular client. CAD software allows for easy customization and rapid design changes. The automatic controls of the CAM system make it possible to adjust the machinery automatically for each different order.





Computer Aided Design Software provides detailed information on Computer Aided Design, Computer Aided Design Software, Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing, Computer Aided Design and Engineering and more. Computer Aided Design Software is affiliated with Cam And Computer Aided Design.

Protecting Your Computer and Your Privacy



We've all heard about computer viruses and spy ware, but for some reason we all assume that it won't happen to us. Unfortunately, we are all more at risk than we realize because every time you get on the Internet you expose your personal information and the functioning ability of your computer to viruses. Visiting the wrong website, reading the wrong email, or downloading the wrong program will leave you and your computer wide open for the viruses to attack. Luckily, there are things that you can do to protect yourself.


First, virus protection should be your first priority when you buy a new computer. Before you install any other programs you'll want to ensure that your computer is fully protected from the viruses that come in all shapes and sizes. If your computer is not new, it's not too late. You should look into downloading programs such as Spybot, Norton Antivirus, Spysweeper, or the virus programs offered by McAfee. All of these programs will help you control what types of programs are allowed to run on your computer. Most of these programs can be set up so that they run every day at the same time. This means that you will have your computer swept clean of any suspicious or dangerous programs daily so that they do not have the time to affect your computer files in negative ways. These programs are highly effective and will most likely catch viruses and suspicious programs before they can invade your privacy and wall of protection. Most of these programs can be downloaded or purchased from your electronics retailer very inexpensively, making the retail price more than worth it.


It is also a great idea to align yourself with a web provider that helps you protect yourself from viruses. Most of the big web providers such as America Online scan each email before you open it for viruses and protect you from emails that have links and such in them so that you are not taken to a website that will put you at risk. The automatic scanning of emails really help eliminate the opportunity for you to become infected with any type of virus, big or small. When you have an Internet provider that does this along with at least one virus protection software program, you'll see that you can stop the intrusion of your privacy and the corruption of your important files. A great Internet resource is the pcviruses.net website that will hook you up with all the most relevant information and software for your computer.


As you can see, protecting your computer from viruses isn't all that difficult, it just takes some thought and planning. If you don't have the software you need or you don't run them regularly your computer can be rendered useless and your personal information can be stolen. Planning and protection is key!

How to Protect Your Computer from Killer Spyware / Adware


Definitions

The computer world is full of threats. In the past, these threats typically consisted of spam, viruses and worms, but a new threat is here to stay, killer spyware and adware! Spyware is defined as software that transmits your confidential information to a third party without asking you for permission. In addition to the obvious violation of your privacy by submitting your web browsing history, spyware companies can also use these your private information to send you spam. Even worse spyware software sometimes collects very sensitive information such as your username and passwords! Adware, another new threat to the online community, displays advertisements on your computer typically in exchange for so-called ?free? software. These advertisements can even inexplicably pop-up on your computer display when you're not using your computer!

Spyware Techniques

Typically killer spyware and adware use two techniques to infiltrate your computer. The most common method of getting spyware and adware installed is to trick you into installing it yourself! Yes, that's right, if you think you have a spyware problem, more than likely your the cause of the problem. Links to spyware can very deceptive and the author has fallen victim himself. However, identifying the techniques used by the spyware makers will help you to minimize spyware intrusions. One common method of spyware intrusion is opening a pop-up windows with a cancel button. When you inadvertently click the cancel button, low and behold spyware has been installed! Even trickier, the pop-up window might have a fake windows title bar which installs the killer software when you try click the fake X to close the window. Tip #1, always use a good pop-up blocker! As you can see, spyware makers are very tricky and they're out to find every technique they can to get their software on your computer, so be weary of any pop-up window and always look at file sizes when downloading. If the file seems too small to be what it claims to be, then it is more than likely spyware or even worse a virus. One sure sign that your computer is infected with spyware or adware is when your browser settings get hijacked. Typically, spyware and adware will change your default home page or search engine, so if you see your homepage change without your intervention you're computer has more than likely been infected.

Free Software = Adware

Adware manufactures typically use supposedly completely free software to infiltrate your computer system. However, when you install the free software, it will tell you that the free software will also install other depective programs in their terms and conditions, which of course you agree to without reading! File sharing software is notorious for both killer spyware and adware, so be warned! Sometimes it is best is pay for good software because you really get what you pay for. It is the author's opinion that most ?free? software nowadays consists of some form of spyware, adware or spamming technique. It's really worth the money to pay for decent software when you need it. If you think you're really found completely free software without the inclusion of adware, do a quick search for the program title and the keywords adware or spyware. If your search comes up empty, you just might have found a diamond in the rough.

Spyware and Adware Signs

Killer spyware and adware is most often noticed when your computer slows down or your computer crashes unexpectedly. Instability problems or a hijacked web browser are sure signs that you have a major spyware or adware problem. Don't let unscrupulous individuals control your computer or view your browsing history, install a good spyware / adware removal tool today.

Tim Manasterski has worked in the IT field since 1991. Please visit his website for more information about finding and removing all forms of spyware and adware.



Changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure - Computer Forensics and E-Discovery


On December 1, 2006, many amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure went into effect. There are three rules specifically that impact Computer Forensics and E-Discovery which need to be considered when building a case for your client, as well as protecting your client's rights.

Most companies fail to realize the following two points:

  • Any data that can be compiled into viewable form, whether presented electronically or printed on paper, is potentially within the definition of ?document".

  • Electronic documents may be considered obsolete by the business in terms of its current computer infrastructure, but may have archival value and be recoverable to a readable format by specialized forensic techniques.
FRCP - Rule 26 (LII 2007 ed.)

With the new law regarding E-Discovery now in place, Rule 26a1 changes are very important.

At the first sign that litigation is coming, a company must use their Litigation Hold procedures and not wait for the courts to act. The problem is most companies do not have these procedures in place, nor do these companies know that litigation holds must start this early in the process.

Of course in order to have Litigation Hold Procedures, a company must have a retention policy and know where the company's data is stored and must be easily accessible.

Rule 26. General Provisions Governing Discovery; Duty of Disclosure

Except in categories of proceedings specified in Rule 26(a)(1)(E), or to the extent otherwise stipulated or directed by order, a party must, without awaiting a discovery request, provide to other parties:

(A) the name and, if known, the address and telephone number of each individual likely to have discoverable information that the disclosing party may use to support its claims or defenses, unless solely for impeachment, identifying the subjects of the information;

(B) a copy of, or a description by category and location of, all documents, electronically stored information, and tangible things that are in the possession, custody, or control of the party and that the disclosing party may use to support its claims or defenses, unless solely for impeachment.

FRCP - Rule 34 (LII 2007 ed.)

With the new law regarding E-Discovery now in place, Rule 34 identifies new procedures regarding the production of documents and electronic data for litigation.

Rule 34. Production of Documents and Things and Entry Upon Land for Inspection and Other Purposes

(a) Scope.

Any party may serve on any other party a request (1) to produce and permit the party making the request, or someone acting on the requestor?s behalf, to inspect, copy, test, or sample any designated documents or electronically stored information ? including writings, drawings, graphs, charts, photographs, sound recordings, images, and other data or data compilations stored in any medium from which information can be obtained ? translated, if necessary, by the respondent into reasonably usable form, or to inspect, copy, test, or sample any designated tangible things which constitute or contain matters within the scope of Rule 26(b) and which are in the possession, custody or control of the party upon whom the request is served; or (2) to permit entry upon designated land or other property in the possession or control of the party upon whom the request is served for the purpose of inspection and measuring, surveying, photographing, testing, or sampling the property or any designated object or operation thereon, within the scope of Rule 26(b).

FRCP - Rule 45 (LII 2007 ed.)

With the new law regarding E-Discovery now in place, Rule 45 identifies new procedures to follow when your company subpoenaed.

Rule 45. Subpoena

(d) Duties in Responding to Subpoena.

(1)(A) A person responding to a subpoena to produce documents shall produce them as they are kept in the usual course of business or shall organize and label them to correspond with the categories in the demand.

(1)(B) If a subpoena does not specify the form or forms for producing electronically stored information, a person responding to a subpoena must produce the information in a form or forms in which the person ordinarily maintains it or in a form or forms that are reasonably usable.

(1)(C) A person responding to a subpoena need not produce the same electronically stored information in more than one form.

(1)(D) A person responding to a subpoena need not provide discovery of electronically stored information from sources that the person identifies as not reasonably accessible because of undue burden or cost. On motion to compel discovery or to quash, the person from whom discovery is sought must show that the information sought is not reasonably accessible because of undue burden or cost. If that showing is made, the court may nonetheless order discovery from such sources if the requesting party shows good cause, considering the limitations of Rule 26(b)(2)(C). The court may specify conditions for the discovery.

These are just snippets of the rules and your attorney or corporate counsel should have access to the entire Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Amendments document. It is important to consider these rules when planning to use a Computer Forensics Investigator or E-Discovery service.

Computer Upgrade - DVD-ROM Required for Microsoft's Vista


Microsoft?s Vista is so large the company was forced to issue it on DVD. There are a generation of computers that have at least the minimum necessary processor and system memory, but were sent from the factory with a CD burner. People owning these machines will have to upgrade to a CD/DVD, or stick with Windows XP.

Installing a CD/DVD is a simple task that can be done in less than 30 minutes. There?s no need to send the unit to a repair shop. All that is required is a screwdriver and a little common sense.

The CD burner will have 3 cables running to it; a power cable, a ribbon cable, and a sound cable. These must be disconnected.

Four screws hold the CD-ROM in place, two on each side. Take these loose with a Phillips screwdriver. The unit can then be slid out the front of the case.

Installing the new CD/DVD is essentially the reverse of taking out the old unit. But before you install it, check to make sure the jumpers on the new unit are set to match the old one. For instance, if the old drive had the jumper set to ?slave?, the new one should be set to ?slave? as well.

Now slide the CD/DVD in the front of the case, and station it there with the four screws you removed earlier.

Re-attach the cables. Start with the sound cable, because it is the hardest to reach. It will be plugged in with its white wire turned toward the center of the unit.

The IDE ribbon cable is next. You will notice there is one blank spot in the plug. This blank matches a missing pin in the CD/DVD?s cable port, preventing you from plugging it in the wrong way.

The power cable, usually a Molex D, will only fit one way. So it is impossible to connect backwards.

With everything connected, you are ready to boot up. When you do, XP?s Plug and Play feature will tell you ?New Hardware Found?, and load a standard driver.

You?re in business, ready to install Vista.

Protect Your Computer...and Your Business!


Protect Your Computer...and Your Business!

 by: Ahmad Supaat

We all take the computer for granted. I mean, all we have to do is switch it on and it's ready to go. But did you ever stop to think what would happen if your computer suddenly crashed? And that is the only computer you have to work on!

What will happen to your work and your business for the next few days or weeks?

Do you have the original or a copy of all your programs?

Do you have the setup configurations, eg for your ISP?. You will need this to re-install some programs.

Do you have a copy of your email address book? Your email list or address book is vital to your business.

Do you remember all your passwords - for retrieving email, connecting to your ISP, membership sites, etc?

So what can you do to ensure that your computer will run as well as you'd expect, and continue working when your computer is down? Here's a few simple tips:

1.Is your computer protected from viruses? Install an anti-virus software such as Norton AntiVirus or McAfee, and make sure to get regular updates. New viruses are coming out more often these days so you need to have updates regularly. Anything more than 3 months old needs to be updated today.

You can do an online virus scan at: housecall.antivirus.com

2.Install a firewall. Anytime your computer is connected to the Internet without a firewall, it is operating under an "open door" policy to intruders. Hackers can get in, take what they want, and even leave open a "back door" so they can turn your computer into a "zombie" and use it to attack other computers, distribute porn and spam.

Your bank account and credit card information, passwords, documents and personal files can be stolen while you're busy surfing. Don't let that happen!

You can download a personal firewall from here:


zonelabs.com or from


soho.sygate.com/products/spf_standard.htm

3. Make regular backups of your important files. Keep a record of all vital information, such as passwords, system configurations, etc. in a file and also print a copy of this and keep in a safe place. Make a duplicate and keep at another location.

If your computer does not come with a zip drive or CDRW drive, it would be a good idea to invest in one. Zip drives and CDRW drives are inexpensive and can be easily installed. The cost of a blank CD for example is less than $1.00 and can store up to 650MB of data.

If you lost some files or your hard disk crashed you can easily retrieve them from the backups. And if your computer is down for repair, you can take that backup CD and work from another machine.

4.Remove all unwanted files on your hard disk. You can safely remove files in your temporary internet folder. In Internet Explorer, select Tools -> Internet options - > Delete Files.

5.Increase your systems performance by defragmenting your hard disk regularly. As applications and files are saved and deleted they gradually cause your hard disk to fragment. By defragmenting your hard disk you can optimise the performance of your computer. Defragmenting may also save wear and tear on your hard disk and extend its lifespan.

Do this today.

The Truth About Computer Rental


Computer rental is sometimes necessary for people with serious business or personal obligations. When you are on to an important project, responsible for speaking at a business meeting, or perhaps making a presentation, you may suddenly need computer equipment that you do not normally have.

There are many ways to obtain a computer if you need one, and one of the most common ways to do so without having to fork out cash in full is to try a computer rental. Acquiring a computer this way has a lot of benefits, that you might be unaware of, so check out why it is a good idea to use a computer rental, even if it?s not your first time owning one.

Many places online as well as stores in your local hometown area have the option for computer rental. In fact you can also rent other utilities for your house, apartment or dorm pretty much like furniture or even household appliances like a washing machine, dryer and dishwasher. The advantages for doing this are numerous, and most people are surprised to learn that computer rental is so commonly adopted by many. In fact, you should scout and shop around for the best deals each store has to offer, given the competitive market.

Almost all stores have incentives to use their electronics rental service. One of the best is that if you?ve got a few credit problems, or if you?re trying to establish credit, then this is ideal. There are no credit checks, and you don?t even have to put up collateral to obtain it. All you need is a couple of personal references, and you must be currently employed in order to qualify for a computer rental. 90 days same as cash is an option. Interest is not added because payments are not required; all you?ll be paying for is the tax on your purchase.

The payment period is usually pretty flexible. Stores will work out a set payment plan that is ideal for you. Monthly, weekly, or even every other week is a viable payback time period. Hidden fees are not included because they?re typically figured into the payment plan.

Another benefit is that you will get the computer the day you order it. Also, stores today don?t carry off the wall brands that don?t work half the time, if at all. All reputable stores offer a guaranteed satisfaction, or you?ll get your money back on the payments for the computer rental you?ve made. Make sure to look at how long the offer is for your particular purchase.

The key benefit of getting a home or office computer this manner is that you can always give a go at the policy of trying it before you decide to buy it. With a computer rental you can choose a particular model, try it out for a while, and if you think it's for you, you can always purchase it. It is definitely a better option compared to buying one outright, and then finding out that it?s not what you really need or want. A computer rental is a win-win option, whatever way you look at it.

Construction with high-quality wire and a shortened body plug will keep Near-end Crosstalk (NEXT) levels to a minimum.

Buying computers at a discount - with peace of mind



I'm one of those people who loves a bargain. I spend hours rummaging around in junk shops, charity stores, jumble sales and discount outlets. After playing with computers, it's probably one of my favourite relaxations. And browsing around for discounted computer kit is the best of both worlds. I just love it. But I don't do my digging in walk-in stores. When I'm looking for computer kit, I do my bargain-hunting online.


Buying a discount or surplus computer on the net is not as scarey as you might think. You don't have to trust yourself to unknown and faceless vendors on certain auction sites - we've all heard the horror stories of customers allegedly sending money and getting nothing in return. A young man in the UK was recently jailed for defrauding ebay customers of more than ?300,000 -- over $500,000. The problem is, when you buy from a private seller you lose many of your rights, because the Sale of Goods Act only applies to purchases from recognised dealers, not Mr Jones or Mrs Smith round the corner.


Then there are online or mail order discount stores. Some of these have also disappeared without trace after seeming to offer much value for little expense. And again, it's the poor customer who has lost out. And there are a number of suppliers well known to Watchdog viewers for offering great deals - that turn out to be less great once the goods arrive.


But it doesn't have to be like this.


There are dealers which have been going for long enough, and with a broad enough customer base, to have built up a reputation for quality and reliability. Some of them are retailers of long standing who were favourites of us geeks long before the internet existed, now trading online. Others have been trading on the net for many years, and built up their reputation in that way.


My top three recommended suppliers for discounted and surplus computer products are:


Morgan Computers
I remember visiting Morgan Computers' shop in the mid eighties. I think it was in Tottenham Court Road, or perhaps the shabby end of New Oxford Street. Anyway, it was a veritable treasure trove for the computer enthusiast - you never knew what you would find, and you were almost always guaranteed to find something exciting. These people weren't (and aren't) just dealers; they actually knew about their products. You could ask them questions about the capabilities of the machines, and get meaningful answers - which was a pretty rare thing in those days.

Nowadays, Morgan Computers are one of Europe's leading dealers in surplus, end-of-line and refurbished computer equipment. Established over 15 years they have four retail locations and a flourishing website; the site offers a full range of equipment with simple secure online ordering, stocks and prices reviewed daily, a bargain basement section and weekly stock updates by email. And for added peace of mind, they are members of the Which? Webtrader scheme operated by the Consumer Association of Great Britain.


Morgan Auctions
This is a sister company to Morgan Computers. Established since 1997 (which makes them almost veterans in this field), Morgan Auctions sells a wide range of overstock, refurbished and second user computer equipment. All goods are sold without reserve - and bids start at just ?2!

You need to register before you can bid, and bids are binding, so obviously don't bid more than you want to pay. But if you like sniffing out a bargain, and you want to feel a little more relaxed about getting what you pay for at auction, this is one to visit.


Kelkoo
This is a completely different approach. Kelkoo doesn't sell anything. What they do is search the net for you, bringing together all the best prices for the product you are searching for, providing links to the approproate supplier in each case. For example, recently I used them to find myself a replacement mobile after mine fell out of my pocket on the bus (duh!) - and I got a real bargain. One of my favourite sites for drooling, even when I don't have any specific purchase in mind!


I'm not going to tell you to buy your next computer from a discount supplier, only you can make that decision. But I hope I have at least given you some options to make your decision as to whether to take the plunge a little less worrying.


Have fun rummaging!

About Setting up a Test Server on Your Own Computer






Here are a few basics of what this broad subject has to offer up to any individual who wants


to know more about it.


When you're developing a website, you require to see it in action on a honest server, to see


how it will work. While you could upload your pages to your web mass every time you make a


change, this quickly gets time-consuming and tiresome. Wouldn't it be great if you could have


a little test server of your own? Well, the server is nothing but a quantity of software so


you can! Please note that, for the purposes of this article, I will assume you're with Windows


as your operating system.


Installing an IIS check Server.


While with IIS isn't recommended, a test server is very simple to install. All you require to


do is open 'Add or detach Programs' in Windows' regulate panel. All you require to do is click


Internet Information army (IIS), click OK, and you're done.


What we have explored up to now is the most important information you need to know. Now, lets


dig a little deeper.


Of course, there are downsides to this. Many versions of Windows don't come with IIS, and


there's no way to ensconce it on them Windows XP Professional, for example, comes with IIS,


but Windows XP Home does not. You might also want to think that installing IIS on your


computer will often make it fewer secure.


Installing an Apache check Server.


Compared to installing IIS, installing Apache is hard Linux distributions all have relatively


simple ways of liability it, but Windows wasn't intended for it. To get Apache installed,


then, you're departure to require to have a little fight with the system.


Note: If you want to skip all the next steps, you might think with an 'easy installer' report


of Apache, such as XAMPP (for Windows), which you can get at


apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html. The downside to this approach is that you will be


relying on them to impart new releases, instead of being able to inform things yourself.


First of all, download Apache from httpd.apache.org/download.cgi. Make sure you


download the Windows Installer (MSI) version. You'll find it easiest to make the server run as


a service, as this will make it run automatically Apache will exist in your system tray (in


the bottom-right turn of your screen).


Now, you require to find your Apache configuration file. In the folder where you installed


Apache, look for another folder named 'conf', and then a sand named 'httpd.conf'. Open this


sand and look for a setting called DocumentRoot. You should change this to moment to a folder


on your hard drive, such as 'c:/html'.


Now, you've got Apache, but that's not commonly much good on its own. The odds are that you'll


want to ensconce PHP and MySQL as well, so here's how:


Download PHP from php.net/downloads.php. Again, go for the installer. Once you've


installed PHP, find its folder, and rename the php.ini-dist sand there to php.ini. Find the


'doc_root' setting there, and set it to the same thing you set Apache's to.


Back in Apache's httpd.conf, you should add these lines:


LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll"


AddType application/x-httpd-php .php


PHPIniDir "c:/php"


If you didn't ensconce PHP in c:php, change the outline above to exhibit where you put it.


Now, installing MySQL isn't as difficult, because it runs independently of your Apache


configuration. Download MySQL from dev.mysql.com/downloads. Again, get the Windows installer


version. This installer has a lot of settings, but you'll be punish if you just click Next


through them to accept all the defaults.


The only remaining measure is to allow MySQL scaffold in PHP. print libmysql.dll sand from


c:php to your WindowsSystem32 folder, and then open the php.ini sand you bent before. detach


the semicolon from the create of the line that says ';extension=php_mysql.dll', and prevent


the file.


Shut down Apache and renew it, and you're done!


Visiting Your Server.


When they've installed a server on their computer, many people miracle how they can access the


server they just installed as if they were visiting it over the web. The answer is simple:


just open your web browser, and go to this URL: localhost (you can also use


127.0.0.1). This special address means 'the server on this computer'.


You'll know if you installed Apache successfully because you'll see a page congratulating you.


When you change your web pages, just use your browser's Refresh button to see the effect.
