Finally Getting Your Own Computer? Don't Get Clicked OfÂŁ1 Learn the ABCs of PCs before you buy.

BY LISA M CoY,

WlTH

GEoRGE McCoY

It's easy to get caught in the web of technology lingo . Just head for the neare t computer store. Unwary newbies can fall prey if they're not careful. Byte , meg , gig . Hard drives and software. It's enough to make your skin crawl.

Before you give in to a commi sioned salesperson, learn his language .

It will help ensure yo ur investme nt will be the right one for you. You 'll be less li kely to be bugged by an obsolete system if yo u can figure out what it is you're buying.

A personal computer (PC) is made up of many parts. In order to know what parts you need to get, you need to know what you want your PC to do.

Personal finan ce, word processing, and graph ic presentation packages all have their own requ irements. If you need to run the same programs at home that yo u use in the office, that will matter, too. VVhen yo u know how you want to use your PC yo u can match your n eeds to the parts you will n eed. Ke ep in mind that yo ur needs will probably change down th e road , and being able to upgrade one part of your PC when yo u need to is better than h avi ng to get another system in three yea rs.

There are two things you n eed to look for: hardware and software. Hardware is the physical parts that come together to send e lectro ni c pul es coursing through th e maze of co nn ection . Software i the et of programs which te ll tho e elec tronic pulses to do what you want. vVh en you go looking for a PC, ou n eed to consider th e speed of th e proces or c hip and th e amount of me mor y. They work together to keep

your data moving fast. Your oftwar requirement wi ll tell ou the minimum you need of each. While technology change quickly, your be t bet i to get the fa te t available proce sor chip , and at lea t 24 megabyte of m emor y. Be sure that you can add m e m ory chips later becau e next year's software may require it.

Your h ard drive wi ll hold yo ur data. The software yo u use and the amount of work ou' II ave to the drive will determin e h ow much pace you need on it. A one or t\vo gigabyte hard drive is current) adequate for mo t home user . You'll need a floppy drive to save data to disk . The floppy drive has a lot where the di k goe , and let you save informati on to the di k ju t li ke you save it to the hard drive. A compact di k (CD) drive will read data for CDs. Some drive le t you read and write data, like disks, but they are expensive.

Know Your ABCs Here's a starter course CD: CPU: floppy: ISP: K: OS:

PC: gig: meg: byte:

compact disc. Holds tons of information. central proces ing unit. The heart and soul of your PC. the drive or the disk used to save data off the PC. Internet service provider K_byte . 1024 bytes operating ystem, . The life of the PC that lets other oftware run. personal computer gigabyte. A large unit of data. megabyte. smaller unit of data.

An even smaller unit of data.

Other part are the monitor, ke board and mou . Tr the e out for comfort before yo u buy. high resoluti on monitor will work be t with graphic program and game that are de igned with quality graphic . Modem interpre t data from the phone lin e and make file u a ble on yo ur PC. They come in differen t peed meaured in baud per eco nd, or baud .

The higher th e baud , th fa ter the data tran mi ion . You'll want the faste t you can afford. If you want to " urf the web,' you' ll probably want a ound package, which in lud es a ound card, oft\vare and peak r .

The type of printer you need depend on th e work ou 're going to produce . Ju t doing yo ur finance and reading e-mail? You probably don ' t need a high quality Ia er printer. But, if you ' re going to be putting out corre pondence to client , or making preentation , yo u 'll want a printer with

at lea t 600 dot per inch (dpi) quality, and maybe even color ink.

Review of computer systems are conducted periodically by The Conumer Union, and publi hed in Consumer Reports magazine. You might want to read the e is ues before making our decision: May 96, July 96, September 96, October 96, December 96, and May 97. They now cover computer in every i ue.

Even the best hardware will just sit there if it doe n 't know what to do .

Software tells the PC how, when , and how well to work. It all tarts with th e operating sy tern (OS) . There a re two ba ic type of 0 ' : Maclnto h (or pple) , and IBM (or DOS). Each functions entire! different! from tl1e other, and data fil cr ated in one OS cannot u uall be u d in th other. Offreared to work best tern . Read our oftwar package arefu ll to e nsure compatibility.

In the DOS camp, there are two favored type ofOS's: Microsoft' Window and V\ indow 95. \ indow 98 was recent! relea ed for limited di tribution and t ting but expect it oon.

Many program created for Window wi ll not work as well in Window 95, and those created for Window 95 won't work in Window . Ke p tl1i in mind when selecting yo ur other oftware.

If you want to con n ect to the Internet, there' anoth r whole alphabet to learn . A good Internet service provider (ISP) can help you ba ed on how you want to u e th et. Consumer Reports August 96 and February 97 isue address Internet servic .

One Ia t item on your shopping list shou ld be a basi c clas in how to use your particular oftware. There are co urses at local high chools, college and even copy shop (bu ine service center ) . Many are low or no co t, but don ' t let that stop yo u from as king que tion if ou remain confused during the class.

After all, you want to get the mo t from your investme nt of time energy and money, and you don ' t want to get clicked off because yo u made the wrong decision.

A Fond Farewell

Delta Theta Chapter Installation BYTRA Y B OND

It was a perfect match from the beginning: two sorori ti es with a n ear century of hi story. Two group believing in friendship , diversity, loyalty, and sc hol astic ac hi eveme nt.

On O ctobe r 5 and 6, 1996, Amy DuPree, Zeta Ch a pter Ad vi er, a nd Tracy Bo nd , Le hi g h Vall e Alumnae Preside nt, went to Moravian Coll ege in Be thl eh em, PA to g ive a pre e ntatio n to three gro ups of wo me n looking to affiliate with a na ti o nal so ro ri ty. '2:T was o n e of eve ral PC ororitie who prese nted at Moravian. The effort to b1ing natio nal organ izatio n to camp u was spear-h eaded by April Vari, A ociate D ea n of Students. Moravian College 's Greek system was compri ed of several local fraternities a nd ororities.

The wee kend began with a day of individual meeting with each of the groups. The following da , the expansio n presentatio n wa given by Am y, Tracy, a nd e ig ht a lumn ae fro m the Le hi g h an d Philade lphi a areas. An incredible refres hm e nt table was put together by the Leh ig h Valley alumn ae.

The imil ar iti e bet\ een lph a Sigma Tau and Phi Mu Ep ilon were ea il a ppare nt. Phi Mu Ep il on wa e tabli bed in 1902 a a literar o iety. They were r e tab li h ed a a ocia l ororit in 1912. !though their number were low, the women di playe d pride in their organization a nd in it individu a l member . The ' were a diver e group of women who were quite in vo lved in ampu activitie . Their de ire and commitment to beco me a national orority wa ev ident, alth ough they w re c rtain to c h oose on ! an organization which m irrored th e Phi Mu Ep ilon tradition . Apri l Vari would later a h e, too, fe lt the affi li ation with '2:T wa certain. After a remarkabl ffort, the group wa ab le to doubl e their size and petition d to affiliate '2:T with 28 member .

The D e lta Theta Co lon wa pinned on November 23, 1996 b ' Tracy Bo nd , Zeta, a isted b even member of the Lehigh a ile Alumnae Club . The alumnae ho ted a reception afterward in the chapter hou e. Thi refre hment tab le trend became an e entia! part of all Delta Theta gathering .

A Year of Growth ...A Year of Sisterhood A Reflection on Alpha Sigma Tau s Expansion

路w hen I arrived home from our last convention there were already eve ral m e sage for expansion opportunities waiting for immediate attention. From that d ay to the present, the pace of intere t from qualifi ed group ha not slowe d. And the collegiate a nd alumnae support for our growth has been ju t a teady.

Wh a ll th e excitem e nt for Alpha igma Tau Sorori ty?

Another trong factor that cam pu admini trators co n ider i the un equaled support our colonies a nd ch a pter receive after affiliation and installation .

The in ta llation of a n ew ch apter into our circle can be traced almo t 100 year back to our Founder . In th e a rn e fa hion , the founding sisters of a new chapter h ave cho e n to embrace th e tand a rds, ideal and legacy of our Si terhood created by eight vision ary wo m e n a nd their a d vi e r o m a n y ears ago.
