Parallel
Port
Parallel ports are computer ports typically used for parallel
Centronics printer hook-up.
RAM
RAM stands for Random Access Memory. You can read
or write to RAM memory (versus
ROM
memory, which
you can only read from). RAM memory
is dynamic, you
can change RAM memory contents by adding to
or
delet-
ing from RAM at your discretion.
Re-Boot
"Re-booting" your computer means to restart the computer
from scratch.
Read
When you read information from a floppy disk, you are
retrieving information that has been stored on the diskette.
Real Time Clock
A real time clock keeps
time
for your computer even
when it
is
turned off (real time clocks traditionally have a
battery back-up). A real time clock
is an optional accessory
for IBM XT's which frees you from having to repeatedly
enter the date and
time'
every time you boot
MS
DOS.
Resolution
Every monitor display picture you see
is
made up
of
tiny
dots (called pixels). Resolution
is
typically given in terms
of horizontal dots by vertical dots. The more dots (pixels)
in the resolution, the clearer your picture
will be.
As an example - 640H x 200V (a typical CGA color
resolution)
is not as good,
or
as clear, as 640H x 350V
(typical
EGA
color resolution).
RGB
RGB stands for Red-Green-Blue. RGB
is
a term used
to
describe one type
of
monitor display for your computer.
RGB monitors are color monitors which divide, and then
recombine the picture signal so as to make the picture
clearer.
