Three Rights Make a Left

By KEN LEONARD

The last couple of days my computer would not access the Internet. I tried several things to get it going but nothing worked. Now let me tell you, I have a screamin’ fast gaming computer I got for Christmas with an I7 processor, 16 gigs of RAM, and an awesome Nvidia graphics card. None of that does much good if I can’t get on the Internet.

My last computer I built myself and I had it for years. I built it with the latest technology at the time. I bought all of the components from Mico Center just off of Central Expressway north of 635. Basically building a computer isn’t as difficult as it sounds. You just buy a case, a mother board, a processor, a power supply, a graphics card, a hard drive (or two), A CD/DVD drive, a bunch of wiring, a keyboard, mouse, monitor modem and software and you just put it all together.

I learned to work on them when I taught high school computers at Terrell Christian Academy in the early 1980s and ’90s. As you can imagine in those days Christian schools had very little budget for computers. So I spent a lot of time finding hand-me-downs from businesses.
