Motherboard

The main circuit board of a microcomputer.

The motherboard contains the connectors for attaching additional boards.

Typically, the motherboard contains the CPU, BIOS, memory, mass storage interfaces, serial and parallel ports, expansion slots, and all the controllers required to control standard peripheral devices, such as the display screen, keyboard, and disk drive.

Collectively, all these chips that reside on the motherboard are known as the motherboard's chipset.

On most PCs, it is possible to add memory chips directly to the motherboard. You may also be able to upgrade to a faster CP by replacing the CPU chip.

A. Well, I guess I'd have to say "yes". But to understand that you'd have to listen to a summary of the efforts that I've made during my life. Here they are...

My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned... couldn't concentrate.

Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the ax.

After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it.. mainly because it was a so-so job.

Next I tried working in a muffler factory but that was too exhausting.

I wanted to be a barber, but I just couldn't cut it.

Then I tried to be a chef -- figured it would add a little spice to my life but I just didn't have the thyme.

I attempted to be a deli worker, but any way I sliced it, I couldn't cut the mustard.

My best job was being a musician, but eventually I found I wasn't noteworthy.

I studied a long time to become a doctor, but I didn't have any patience.

Next was a job in a shoe factory; I tried but I just didn't fit in.

I became a professional fisherman, but discovered that I couldn't live on my net income.

I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining.

I got a job at a zoo feeding giraffes but I was fired because I wasn't up to it.

So then I got a job in a workout center, but they said I wasn't fit for the job.

After many years of trying to find steady work I finally got a job as a historian until I realized there was no future in it.

My last job was working at Starbucks, but I had to quit because it was always the same old grind.

SO I FINALLY RETIRED AND I FOUND THAT I AM PERFECT FOR THE JOB!

My Mommy can do anything!

My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!

My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.

Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either.

Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.

That old woman? She's way out of date!

Well, she might know a little bit about it.

35 YEARS OF AGE
Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.

45 YEARS OF AGE
Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?

Wish I could talk it over with Mom.

The Print Screen button was carried over from the early days of computers. Back then, pressing the button would send the lines of text displayed on your screen straight to your printer. This method worked nicely until the invention of the graphical user interface (Windows).

Using this key is great for copying error messages that appear on your screen. You can get help with solving your problem if you show or read the exact error message to your tech support person.

To make Print Screen work you must COPY an image of what's displayed on-screen to the clipboard and then PASTE it into a document where it can be printed.

2. To capture (copy) the entire screen, just press the Print Scrn key. This will copy the screen to your Windows Clipboard

3. Open the Windows PAINT program (START >> PROGRAMS >> ACCESSORIES >> PAINT) or any other graphic display program

4. Paste the screen shot by holding down CTRL and V at the same time (or got to EDIT >> PASTE).

5. SAVE and/or PRINT the results (exact duplicate of the screen that you were looking at).
