True or false:
1.the external hardware components are located inside the main box or system unit of the computer.
2.the binary numbering system uses only two symbols- the digits 0 and 1 - to represent all possible numbers.
3.early computers required programs to be written in machine language.
4.each location in memory has an address.
5.some of the oldest types of ports- such as serial and parallel ports- are increasingly being referred to as standard ports.
6.the control unit takes the instructions fetched by the prefetch unit and translates them into a form that can be understood by the control unit, ALU, AND FPU.

4) T
5) don't remember
6) don't remember. This sounds like Assembler to me.

College is in session for you, wow. I guess you're taking a winter session class.

Cheating is wrong unless it's an online course

nahh its a normal class, but he put the test online so that we could do it over the weekend, and he said its an open book test, so......

lol... doesnt the word external pretty much imply that they wouldnt be inside the main box or system unit of the computer? The question answers itself. epic

If you have a hard time with those questions, the course is going to eat you alive.

But you can always come back for more cheating!

Thanks alot gamefreak and pakled!!
