seanMO Posted April 9, 2002 Author Share Posted April 9, 2002 Useless? . Why doesnt the link work? Or are you just an asshole. I dont know those are your options you tell me. Thats what you get for trying to be helpfull. I know when I was new to computers I had alot of questions. Are were you born with all your knowledge. Not everyone knows these things and they are useful. people like you need serious help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostman Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 What are you guys complaining about? I clicked on it and it opened what seems to be an A+ study guide. Good info to know for the newbie. Why give him such a hard time? F R A G N A S T I K A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanMO Posted April 9, 2002 Author Share Posted April 9, 2002 Thats exactly what it is. Theres obviously alot more, and im sure if people were to admit it , there are certain things in there that they wouldnt have known. No knowledge is useless.

GreyJedi Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 This is an excellent guide to basic computer hardware. Good job. Ignore the solitary insult from a very bitter individual who has nothing to contribute to the community. Did I just seem to isolate him or what?

seanMO Posted April 10, 2002 Author Share Posted April 10, 2002 Thanks . The way i structured it was to first quickly skim over the main topics, and then go more into detail later. There will be more to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templar KoroMis Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 "Captain Useless" I'd like to see you create notes and post them here. Not to mention, "Yoda's Swamp" is for JK2 and NON-related JK2 topics, this is the only place he could post this here, if it's useless to you, then stfu kiddo, no need to flame his ass because he wants to help people learn. I hate when people have to be asses like that. But what can you expect from a kid? btw nice guide, must have taken awhile good detailed info there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanMO Posted April 10, 2002 Author Share Posted April 10, 2002 Thanks for the support. Wait till that sees me get all exited about my first website. Hes really gonna hate me . lol There are guys like that all over the net. Im used to it by now. Some people might see it as basic info they cant use. Some people might actually find it interesting. who knows. The worst that can happen is that someone actually learns something . I didnt post it originally to be all high and mighty or anything, just thought i would pass on some info. Being new to computers I actually still get exited when I learn something simple like creating an HTML website on wordpad. Guys like him wont stop me.

Templar KoroMis Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Yeah, some people might want to learn, and couldn't find the info, but some kids don't mind their own business, maybe their envious because their not smart enough to put that information to work, but thats okay Jun, kiddo, don't cry, just don't get involved next time if it's "so useless". because without that info, we would have no "games" except for maybe Atari. But thats okay, maybe you'll figure out that it's not so useless one of these days when you grow up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanMO Posted April 11, 2002 Author Share Posted April 11, 2002 pay attention to: difference beween early intel dx and sx chips popular sockets like 5, 7 and slot 1 pentium processors location of L2 cache and benefits official standard for serial ports parrelel cable scsi cable atx mobo mca transfers eisa and isa vesa pci 3 types of pcmcia usb 2.0 eeprom post process simms parity com 1, com2 irq and IO address boot options printers in general(very important including troubleshooting) irq and irq controllers memorize the standard irq for devices read/ write process for HDD who performs the low level format of hdd ide and eide differnt types is scsi(memorize) removable media types portable devices bios settings and troubleshooting the noptes i posted are literally the tip of the iceberg. my textbook was 1200 pages. that gives you an idea. but there are some important things you should know like the above. and it all depends on who you write it through. there may be different focuses. just know your stuff.
