Blog #3

In Chapter 4 I learned all about output devices. I learned that an output device, in general terms, is a device used to show the user certain information. I learned that some common output devices include copy machines, speakers, monitors, headphones, and overhead projectors. I like how this chapter put the definitions of things we use everyday into such simple terms.
A new skill I learned while reading this chapter is how to store things on a Flash Drive. I have used flash drives before but I never really understood exactly how they worked until I learned in this chapter. I am glad that now I know exactly what is happening when I used a flash memory stick.
Something to share would be that I thought I really wasn't going to like the SAM software but I have learned so much using it. I was doing something on Microsoft Word the other day and I needed to use the table feature, which I hadn't used until SAM taught me how, and it was so nice to know exactly where to go to get what I needed!

Gotta agree with you and jmm about everything Ive learned using SAM. It's taught me much quicker and easier ways of getting things done and now I look back and wonder how much time Ive wasted doing thing in longggg drawnnnn out ways!! haha So as much as it's such a daunting task, it does help.
