Using computer terms, define them using only 5 words. Then define them again in 5 words, but not related to computers. In your message, you can either do a different word, or one that has already been mentioned. Ex: RAM-Programs used immediately by computer Ram-Dodge name brand of truck Hard Drive-Storage medium for all computers Hard drive-Driving vehicle without any suspension -------------------- We are all curious like a cat. We wonder, we ask, we learn.

Driver - Something used to help programs, software, and hardware function. Driver - One who operates a vehicle. Not to be confused with Miss Daisy.

Now you guys are getting it!!! Using exactly 5 words to define a computer term, then defining it again w/ 5 words, as a non-computer term.
How about this one: printer-popular output besides the monitor printer-person who prints professionally full-time -------------------- We are all curious like a cat. We wonder, we ask, we learn.
