Post #8

Chapter 8 talked about computer viruses and how they spread. There was a list on pg 487 that showed the signs of a possible virus infection, i thought this was an important thing for everyone to know. With how important technology and computers are today with college students, it would be awful to get a virus and lose all my work. Some of the signs were: an unusual message or sound appearing on screen, available memory changes unexplainably, a program or file disappears or a file not working properly.
Since the last post i haven't learned too many new things. I worked a little more with excel and learned some new things with that. I think now that i know more about excel i will deffinitely use it more. I used to just work with Word because that's what i was familiar with but now i am comfortable with excel and can use it more often.
I can't believe we're in the last week of classes! This six week period has definitely flown by. I think next summer i am going to take classes again because it wasn't as difficult as i thought it would be. Taking classes over the summer can help lessen the course load for the fall!

that is why i am getting a mac. too many problems with my old pc, like losing my work. not cool. the summer is a lot faster and some classes are easier during the summer. the 4000 level classes, however, are not. it's too much work cramped in a few weeks.
