As my last post about hard drives stated that internal hard drives is the way to go, I will tell you when to use an external hard drive and why to use this over an internal one. Well first I have mentioned that compared to an internal hard drive speed and price, the external is a lot worse than that. But imagine you want to take some documents to your cousin in Japan and the file is too big to put into any CD, DVD, or send in any email or put in any flash drive, what do you do then?

Almost everyone with a computer has at least one printer. I actually have three, two for regular printing paper and one for photo printing. So having three printers make me use up a lot of ink and I have to buy new inkjet cartridges every few weeks. The longest I’ve gone without buying was probably 3 months and that was this past summer. Not many school work to do if you know what I mean. I have checked out a site named Inkers.biz that sells toner cartridges and other ink supplies and they seem to be pretty good.

Inkers offers a 100% defect guarantee. Just for that I will probably try to get my next ink cartride from them. I have gotten an ink cartridge from Best Buy once and ink wouldn’t come out. At first I thought it was my printer. Then I went to a friends house with the exact same printer and same problem. I had to go back and return it and I don t know what caused that inkjet to stop working. And they also deliver. Another plus in my books. I don’t like going to the store as much to get the stuff and they can deliver in 2 to 3 days. I know where I am going to get my next inkjet. Do you?

Usually people that are new to the computer world gets softwares and hardwares mixed up and now I will tell you the different. Software is anything inside your computer such as programs and anything else that you can use in the computer. Your CPU or central processing unit is part of the huge hardware. Well here is an easy to to explain. Hard means its strong and you can touch it. If you can touch your monitor, guess what? That is part of the hardware. Soft means its light and you can’t physically touch it. If you are using Microsoft Word, you can’t physically touch the program can you?

Those are just simple tips on telling those two terms apart. And also know that one cannot work with out the other. Well one is practically useless without the other. What good is a hard ware if you dont have any programs to run on it and what good is a computer program if you don’t have a place to store it?
