office. Consisting of a few young adults, they were not progressing as much as
they would like too. Their competitor, Digital Research, created the first
operating system, known as the CP/M-86 system. Though, not glamorized, CP/M did

challenge in software design. The people who make anti-virus software have much
more to benefit from the creation of new virii. This is not a slam, just an
observation. A common type of virus would be a Trojan Horse, or a destructive
program disguised as a game, a utility, or an application. When run, a Trojan
Horse does something devious to the computer system while appearing to do
something useful (Microsoft Encarta, 1996). A Worm is also a popular type of

... the bill arose because of the
recent surge of pornography on the Infobahn. The CDA criminalizes indecent
speech on the Internet(Wallace: 1). The CDA describes indecent speech as
anything "depicting or describing sexual or excretory acts or organs in
patently offensive fashion under contemporary community standards."
First take the word "indecent". This word is used because of its vague
definition. Not only does this word ban sexually explicit materials, it also
bans sexually explicit words too. If this were applied to the real world some

Macintosh Vs. IBM
Number of Words: 3121 / Number of Pages: 12
... When the personal computer hit the market it was a major hit and IBM
became a strong power in electronic computers. Phoenix Technologies went

you can figure out the distance the sound had to travel. The formula is:
(S/2) X 1100 = D (Half of the total time times 1100 feet
per second equals the distance from the origin to the reflection point)
