I UNDERSTAND THAT MOST EVERYTHING IS PROCESSED THROUGH THE MICROPROCESSOR
AND ITS RELATED COMPONENTS, BUT WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS HOW SOMETHING
I TYPE IS STORED THERE ON THE HARD DRIVE.  I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW HOW
INFORMATION IS TAKEN OFF THE C D ROM DRIVE AND WINDS-UP ON THE SCREEN.
ALSO, HOW DOES A C D ROM RECORDER WORK?  IS THERE SOME SORT OF LASER
TECHNOLOGY AT WORK HERE?
