Can you become the local Geek?

SOON, if Ron King has anything to do with it.
He's writing on Computer components for idiots, could he mean me? or perhaps even you?
Well, I do have some readers who I'm trying to encourage to in turn encourage those around them who can be considered computer illiterate or semi-literate, to become less so.
Ron King should definitely be able to help.
Now, let's, "Sound of Music" style, start at the very beginning.
Do you know what a mobo is?
What's a CPU?
A memory?
A hard disc drive?
How fast can your computer process information? What determines this?
Peripherals?
He describes these and more and draws parallels with the human nervous system and the brain.
His descriptions are dazzlingly clear.
You'll find his short, scintillating, didactically clear explanations on the following link
May he bring out the best Geek in you.

Oh how I love your little face.
I did some quick, designed to be helpful, fast forward, out of course, classes, about 2, teaching me what I didn't need, and mostly only understood by those who already knew, at the University, not too long ago but I really have never done the basics, except by me.
I wouldn't be tempted to try another, screw your neck around, look at the screen while at the same time trying to do it on my computer along with the 20 others who already knew, one in a hurry.
I've been involved with computers for years, but more like tell others rather than do it yourself, so I don't like the current climate where one is supposed to KNOW things, be they indeed very simple, and glorified typing is not for me, multiskilling, multidisasters if you ask me.
And, of course, there's all the would bes if they could bes because they know the trappings of their own local environment deem it as a test of their superiority.
Oh, I do despair.
But there are many out there trying to be genuinely helpful and we could do with more of those.
Turn it on, off you run, is OK up to a point.
I'd really like to know all the theory as well as the practice - both easy and difficult.
But, I'll start with easy - WAY TO GO!
Lovely to see you, I think things may have been catching up with you.
