The first
personal computers were home-built by electronics
hobbyists.
When Apple, IBM
and others began selling ready-made systems to "normal" folk,
most buyers never considered opening the
case, even to look, much less make
changes.
That was roughly
25 years ago - one human generation, but more than a dozen
generations for computers.
By the second
decade of the personal computer age, computer stores were
selling hard drives, memory upgrades, sound and video cards
and other components to an increasingly large segment of the
home computer market who wanted to make their PC "more" than
what the manufacturer sold them.
Today, such
parts can be found in any office supply or general merchandise
store - even some supermarkets and drug
stores.
But even with
this wide and easy availability, even with prices that
continue to drop as capabilities continue to rise, many people
are convinced you have to be an electronics wizard to
open that case.
"Understanding
PC Hardware" will help dispel that myth, explaining
in simple language, just what each part is, what it does
and how it can be replaced.
