4. d 1st OS to do networking
5. e - generated when two dissimilar objects are rubbed together causing + and - electrons to separate and the two materials to become electrically unstable, waiting for common ground to discharge; This discharge is ESD-elctro-static discharge
   - ESD doesn't cause damage, but the uncontrolled high voltage discharge associated with static electricity does

5 True/False Questions

1. 80486DX2 (486DX2) → 1st to break 100MHz barrier

   True        False

2. What is a Bus? → Carries info to CPU:
   - allows for a number of signals to be processed at once; allowing higher processing speeds especially compared to a single wire
   - group of electrical conductors that run in parallel (conductors are typically found in groups of 8)
   - a common path to transmit info to all parts of the computer

   True        False

3. Memory Redundancy → 1. Non parity - no back up / computer crashes on error
   2. Parity - extra chips / signal OS on memory error
   3. ECC - Error checking and correcting

   True        False

4. Molex connectors → used on hard disk drives and optical drives

   True        False

5. Windows / Mac difference → Command line interface; Mac is Unix based, MS is DOS based

   True        False
