I need to buy software for my IBM compatible but I don't know it's
specifications. And I have no prior experience with PCs.
Thus I am looking for information on:
1. the relevant technical characteristics of my computer
(it's a PIM-TB-Z 10 MHZ Turbo)
2. the relevant technical characteristics of the monitor
(it's a high resolution RGB color monitor)
3. the differences between CGA, VGA, and EGA. (Which one do I have?)
4. where to buy used books on PCs and their software.
5. a good book on PCs for a beginner; a book that has a broad intrro-
ductory coverage (upgrading, compatibility whith printers, hard disks,
software, etc..)
6. what's called motherboard or mainboard.
7. a good book that contains definitions of most common technical words
relating to PCs.
8. how/where to obtain public domain software (I need a lot...) for my PC.
9. where I can get free basic instruction/technical support on PCs in the
Los Angeles area.
10. which type of diskets I need ( high density, Double density, Double
sided, or it doesn't matter?).
Thanx a lot for your assistance.
