<center><h1>Software</h1></center>
<p>The term software is used to encompass the data that can be executed by the microprocessor to give a (hopefully) useful result.
<p>In this section, you will find information concerning: <ul>
<li>The different programming languages, their history, and links to the corresponding tutorials.
<li>Assembler language. Because of the power and versatility of this language, it is discussed in a separate section. Programming with assembler (as well as with other languages) requires the comprehension of certain concepts of binary mathematics therefore necessary information (along with several interactive applets) has been provided.
<li>Operating Systems, their nature and their use.
<li>The Y2K bug, its origins, its possible consequences and what is being done about it. Detailed instructions for preparing your computer against the Y2K bug would have taken up too much space. Therefore a link to another website has been provided.
</ul>
