The central feature of this multimedia presentation is a full
analysis and description in words and animations of what makes a
modern personal computer tick in hardware terms. Three sections
of the presentation look at different aspects of a computer: the
inside with its chips and other components, the outside with its
peripheral devices like the keyboard and the mouse, and the back
of the machine with its connections for various devices like
printers and networks. Each section has multiple parts full of
easy-to-follow animations with excellent graphics. The
animations are especially appropriate for showing graphically
difficult topics such as how a diskette holds magnetic data and
how a laser printer creates characters on a printed page. The
Index feature of the program lists all of the technical terms
alphabetically, from which the user can go directly to the
presentation about them with the click of the mouse.
