  25. In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first computer with a hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD weighed over a ton and stored 5MB of data. IBM leased this machine for $35,000 a year.

  26. Network Computers that are connected in order to share information and resources. The main computer on a network is called a file server. LAN – Local Area NetworkComputers are in close proximity to each other. WAN – Wide Area NetworkComputers are in a larger geographical area.

  27. Software A set of instructions or programs that tell a computer what to do.

  28. Software Operating System or Platform Applications or Programs

  29. This type of software manages RAM, controls peripheral devices, manages file operations (saving, opening, deleting, renaming, etc.), monitors system performance, and provides a user interface Operating System or Platform

  30. This type of software manages RAM, controls peripheral devices, manages file operations (saving, opening, deleting, renaming, etc.), monitors system performance, and provides a user interface Operating System or Platform Windows is a GUI OS environment that works with DOS. It uses icons and menus to make computers easy to use. You can multitask with Windows. DOS & Windows DOS is a command-line interface OS. It is not very user-friendly!
