I have to admit that I have been dreading this class since we started the program. As much as I love using computers and learning about new applications, I have had absolutely no interest in what is inside the computer. Coming into this class, I had never been inside a computer and had no desire to change that.
My husband helped me open the computer since I didn't even know how to do that and didn't want to break it! It was interesting to see the parts and match them up with the different websites to identify them. That being said, I still don't think I will spend much time in there in the future. One thing I will take away from the experience is the ability to clean the dust out of the computer. Now that I know how to open it, I will try to get in there and clean it more often.
After reading the Boot Process power point, I felt completely stupid. I didn't even understand half of what I read. I read through it a second time a day later with slightly more comprehension. I honestly don't think I will ever use (or completely understand) most of that.
The first part of the PBS series Triumph of the Nerds was a lot more interesting than I thought it was going to be when I saw it listed. It was interesting to hear how everything started, especially from the Apple perspective.

Lori-
I agree with your thought about never really caring what was inside the computer. Although, after opening it up and naming parts, I found it slightly more interesting. I also found the "Triumph of the Nerds" more interesting than I thought it would be.
