KRISTEN: Jane, I want to find the weather forecast
for tomorrow. What do I need to do?
JANE: First, you need to be connected to the
Internet.
KRISTEN: Right. So use the mouse to click on this
icon here on the desktop, right?
JANE: Yes, and then wait while the computer dials
up.
KRISTEN: Why is it taking so long?
JANE: Because our modem only works at 64k. If you
want a faster connection we'll have to upgrade.
KRISTEN: OK. Now I've connected, what do I do
next?
JANE: Choose a search engine from your list of
favorites and type in some key words.
KRISTEN: How about "weather forecast Chicago"?
JANE: That should do. Now click on 'search'.
KRISTEN: Right. Now I have a menu of different
sites.
JANE: Good. Click on the link that seems most
helpful.
KRISTEN: Oh, this one's good. It has a satellite
map. But looks like it's going to rain.

| How Computers Work - Journey Into The Walk-Through Computer |
 |
[Recorded 1990] How Computers Work: A Journey Into
The Walk-Through Computer is an educational video
produced by The Computer Museum and hosted by
David Neil of PBS's Newton's Apple. Join David
Neil and his four young companions on an
entertaining and illuminating trek through The
Computer Museum's one-of-a-kind, two-story working
model of a desktop computer.
The Computer Museum in Boston, Massachusetts was
the predecessor institution to the Computer
History Museum located in Mountain View,
California since 1996. Sadly, the walk-through
computer did not move to California with the
Computer Museum's collection, but as you can see
from this video, it was a very engaging exhibit.

| Find out IP addresses and shut down computers from your own |
 |
This is a tutorial that tells you how to find out
IP addresses from computers and servers and stuff
that made the site and is used to edit it. It also
explains how to shut down a computer or server
from your own windows computer using an IP
address. I have only tried this on XP, but I have
a feeling it works on Vista. I don't know about
any earlier versions but, hey, who uses anything
earlier than XP anyway? If your school (if you go
to school) has a web site, you can shut the
computers down there, which is very fun to do,
especially when you're home sick and people at
school are using the computers. If you also
somehow find your friend's (or boss's)IP address,
you can also shut down their computer, which is
great for pranks. I AM NOT LIABLE FOR ANYTHING YOU
DO WITH THIS!!!!
