I think this would be a good topic, so I decided to put it here. I wanted to make a topic for people like me that can't figure out what's what online, whether it be the lingo or how to do something right. It should benifit for those that have struggled to know computer things. And, if this topic is a complete bomb, please delete it and erase it from your memories.

Why would they delete a terrible topic just to save you the embarassment?

*laughs.* Hehe....I think this is a good topic. I'm an idiot when it comes to computers.

Lesson #1: The Power Button
Usually located on the computer and monitor, this turns the devices on or off.

Lesson #2: The Basic Input Devices
Two of the most common microcomputer input devices are the keyboard and mouse. The keyboard is used to type commands into the computer manually. The mouse is used by moving it around to correspondingly maneuver a cursor around your monitor display. The mouse also has buttons for additional input.

Is this topic supposed to be about how to usea computer, or about the Internet and its culture? If it's about the latter, I need a lot of help. Just a few days ago, a friend of mine told me one of his favorite expressions: "Want some 1337 sauce on your n00b cake?" I asked him what 1337 sauce tasted like, and where I could get a n00b cake.

If that isn't proof of how much help I need, I don't know what is. :P

The doggie's face is really a talking message block from Yoshi's Island.

This site has a spell check?

Koopaslaya · « **Reply #13 on:** March 02, 2006, 08:11:56 PM »

Yet again: "Wow."
