A PC is a great tool for anybody to have. But how does it really work? Well, let's find out.

There are several components inside your computer that enable it to work. Some of these are the Motherboard, CPU, Power Supply, Hard Drive, RAM, Battery, and BIOS Chip.

All of the information inside the computer is transported via the bus to all other parts of the computer. A computer works like the roads of America. The roads allow people to get to anywhere in the country. The bus in the computer allows data to get to anywhere within the computer.

The CPU sends information to the hard drive. All of that information is sent through the networks of bus on the motherboard. It goes through the connection on the motherboard, is sent up the EIDE cable and the hard drive receives it. This is a very efficient way of sending information to and from anywhere in the computer.

  "Never trust a computer
 you can't throw out a
 window."
   -Steve Wozniak

 "I do not fear computers.
 I fear lack of them."
   -Isaac Asimov

 If you can't beat your
 computer at chess, try
 kickboxing."
