Dear Class:

Please finish defining the following terms and save them on your server account with the file name “last name second vocabulary”. This will be a new file.

1. Hertz
2. Input
3. Kilo
4. Mega
5. Output

We will have a discussion on these terms. These terms will be part of the vocabulary that you will have to know for a test. There will be 20 total words that you will have to define as well as the information from the timeline you will work on today.

The last assignment, which is a focus on “specific” items on the internet and “the lowest price” as search parameters, is meant to hone your skill even further.

The last of specifics for web searches will entail putting together the “Virtual Computer” (see below assignment; Should be finished today).

Class:

Please put together a “virtual” computer with the following configuration (you cannot have a pre-made computer; in other words, you cannot have Dell Computer put it together!)

You can get into groups of no more than 2 people per group

Find the following (each separately):

1 – 4 gig Ram
1 - 2.8 GHz Pentium dual core (or equivalent)
1 - DVD+/- RW double side Burner
1 – Blue Ray player
1 - TV Tuner Card
1 - Video Card with at least 512 MB DDR
1 - 22 inch flat panel Monitor HD (minimum measurement)
1 – Set of surround sound speakers for computer
1 – Case with motherboard that supports above
1 - 10/100 wireless network adapter
1 - Optical Mouse
1 - Wireless Keyboard
1 - Hard Drive with 500 GB; with at least 7200 rpm rated and 16 MB Buffer
1 - LaserJet Printer with color
1 – Wireless N card for internet

Please put cost together in a list for each and the total for all of it; copy the ad (using the print screen function) that you found it in, the price, and the web page address. The person with the lowest total price will win…extra credit!!!!!!

Work on the bridges when done. This is the file under start, west point bridge building, and .exe file.

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite
