i freaking hate my computer class with a passion! i have A's in all of my other classes and a D in computer class and i'm trying so hard to understand, but, this computer stuff is like trying to read chinese and i really feel like the things we're being taught will never apply to any aspect of mylife (it's a gen. ed. class, so it's not really part of my major) when will i ever need to know binary code? i don't want to be a programmer, so the answer is, NEVER! i'm trying so hard to get a good grade, but i'll never get into nursing school with a D!

OOOOH! Binary code. Brings back such fond memories.

NOT!

I hated my basics class, and binary is a thing of the past. But I guess
you have to know how computers work, before you can use one.

It's just a box with a hamster wheel inside it, right?
Or should I stop dropping jerble pellets in the USB port?

That is pretty funny, Wolfie.
Kallie, just keep in mind that whenever learning something, you're also learning HOW to learn. Everything has a different process and the more ways you can learn to learn about things, the easier it will be to learn about the things that REALLY matter to you.

Make sence?

And NO, Wolfie, I haven't been drinking........ yet

@ OEJ: Well, there's always hope.

Just wait until you get to and gates and stuff like that. (Electronics.) I took computer repair course, and they dropped all this confusing BS on you, made you learn about all these chips that look like bugs with silver legs and all that. Now a Dual Core Proccessor takes up the same space and the stuff I learned was so last century. Because it WAS the last century. Out moded, out dated and just plain out of it too.

Their courses were on those big 5 3/4" floppys. That was when a floppy disk was really "floppy". Their monitors were in gold screens. What a VAST improvement over the green screens. Thank GAWD CD's came to rule the world, and now jump drives. I don't even have a diskette drive anymore. It's something you have to stay on top of, 24/7/365.

Now you can plug almost anything into a USB port. From some deranged snowman, to a tiffany Lamp, to some sort of toy rocket launcher. I mean really... Isn't a computer enough to entertain a person?

Appearantly not.

The USB Hamster Wheel.
Hey! I don't dream this stuff up, dig?

well ask your tea cher or another teacher when you have free time and ask for advice but just type a bunch of 1s and 0s and they will think it really means something then say it means bla bla bla (insert ideas)or if it is different #'s then type a bunch of stuff and like before say it's something.
