Speaking of databases.......

An EXTYRALARGE database that touches YOUR life just about everyday is..... the census!

So how did they count all those people pre-computers?

CLICK HERE to see the machines invented for the 1980 census - primarily because the 1880 census took almost 10 years to complete!

CSC125 class for 3/2/10........

.... is CANCELLED. I'm having major car trouble this morning - it's generally a good idea to have brakes working on your car!

Fortunately I missed this same class LAST semester, and posted a slidecast of what I'd be covering today, so you can get the same info in the comfort of wherever-you-are. Feel free to have a latte while you think about me sitting at the repair shop!


Today's topic is about connecting additional stuff to your machine via the top 3 busses we use today: SATA, USB, Firewire. It's a tad out of date - USB3 has come out in the last couple of months, and some products are already available - but still very useful.
