History of Computers-Part Four-The Father of modern computer science September 23, 2010
Posted by martin in : General , add a commentIn our history of computers we have followed the development of computers from their humble beginnings as astrological clocks to the more complex mechanisms used to complete elaborate calculations. Later, toward the end of the 1800s we saw machines that could not only calculate, but save data. Here we see the emergence of the fist computers that we can accurately consider ‘modern’.
The Father of modern computer science
Long before web design and HTML code, Alan Turing was pushing the boundaries of computer theory. Known today as the father of modern computer science, Turing worked as a code breaker during the Second World War. At the Bletchley Park headquarters in England, Turing lead a team of mathematical experts who worked to crack the German Enigma Code. While Turing did not create a computer, his work laid the theoretical foundation for others to follow.

What to do with your old Computer: Part One September 7, 2010
Posted by martin in : Allgemein , add a commentA delima which faces all computer users is what do do with an old computer. After spending so much money on the hardware and lovingly installing the software, it can be really hard to let that old computer go. Adding to the problem, computers, like cars, start to lose value from the moment your turn them on. If you are thinking it might be time for a new computer system, here are some things to think about.
Old Computer: Value
One of the hardest facts to swallow is the fact that your computer is probably worth a mere fraction of what you spent on it. As technology advances so quickly, software and hardware become obsolete at lightning speed. just as an example, the €1000 desktop computer I bought three years ago for web design now can be found on Ebay for around €200.
