Presentation Package - Xbox Presentation The Manager of a shop in Kirkham Mr. Peterson (Eclipse) has asked me to produce a presentation for the release of the new console Xbox to run in the shop windows that will display all the new features and games coming for it. Before this idea he used to just put a few posters up displaying the information. To produce this poster the manger used to just design the posters by hand and photocopy them. This is one manual way of designing the poster the new way will look better\professional and will be a lot easier to produce. There are a number of possible methods of solving this problem. I could use an animation but school does not have one of these. I have used a language called visual basic before. This lets me move text and pictures but this is very time consuming and I don't know how to do this. The only quick and simple solution would be to use a presentation package like Microsoft PowerPoint or Lotus Freelance. The manager of Eclipse wants the following to appear in the presentation: * The slide show should attract more attention by different animation effects * Information on the release dates and costs of the products * Reviews of at least 5 games and some hardware reviews. * There should be a clear, introductory slide including a picture and information about the Xbox console. * The slide show should be stay the same
ICT Unit 4 Networks Notes - LAN and WAN networks
Unit 4 Computer Networks . What is a network A network is a system that sends and receives data and messages enabling two or more computers to communicate with each other Networks typically allow computers to share files, share printers and send messages to each other The typical hardware devices that from part of a network are: * Personal computers used as terminals * One or more central processing units acting as dedicated file servers or print servers * Disk drives * Scanners * Printers 2. Types of network There are two types of network: LAN - Local Area Network A network contained within one building or site called a Local Area Network (LAN). WAN - Wide Area Network A network that spans several sites across a city, country or even the world is called Wide Area Network (WAN). a) Local Area Network (LAN) A LAN is a Local Area Network covering a small area such as one building e.g. in a scholl or college. Within a LAN, computers and other hardware devices are connected to the file server. This allows the computers to share resources. b) Wide Area Network (WAN) A WAN is a Wide Area Network covering a large geographical area. A wide area network is not confined to one building. The hardware that forms part of the network can spread around the world. Within a WAN, many terminals are connected to the host computers. This allows networks to cover a large
Hardware used in my created system - inputs and outputs
AO1b The hardware my system will use is a keyboard and mouse for input and it will use a monitor and a printer for output. The actual computer tower itself is obviously required hardware, and includes a hard drive, RAM for process storage, the CPU to run all the processes in the computer and there are other things too. The wage slip is my output product (as well as the leaflet), as it is what I want to get out of my system. The input is the data in the spreadsheet, and the spreadsheet is obviously the store of this data. The process itself is getting the input to the output, and the way we do that is by using mail merge. Mail merge automatically moves the data from where we input it into our wage slip which will be printed, which is our output. Each part of my system needs hardware. The input which is the data requires a keyboard. Storage requires a hard drive, obviously. The process requires a CPU and RAM to function and the output (wage slip) requires a printer & monitor. My system can be described as a number of subsystems. The wage slip is a system in itself, having the spreadsheet as input data and storage, the actual mail merge being the process then the wage slip being your output. But deeper down, the spreadsheet alone is a system, with data entered in as input, the cells storing the data. Then the processes are the formulas manipulating the data, finally giving us
The Computer Mouse.
Computer Mouse Geoff Williams Netty Griggs Year 2 20089227 The Computer Mouse The computer mouse first came about in the early 1980's. The idea being that the movement from the users hand could be turned into signals that the computer could read moving the cursor around and also allowing the buttons to function when pressed. Today there are a few different types of computer mice on the market. These being the mice that use the traditional tracking ball, the optical mouse and the mouse that has no physical connection to the computer. The most common mouse found near a computer today is the traditional mouse that uses the tracking ball. This is the same method as was used when the mouse was first released in the 1980's. The track ball inside the mouse touches the desk when it is moved. When the ball moves the motion is detected by two perpendicular axis, one which detects x axis directional motion and the other y-axis direction motion. Tracking Ball Perpendicular axis motion detectors Hole in which track ball would sit The diagrams above show the tracking ball and the hole in which the tracking ball sits. You can see the x and y axis motion detectors of which the y-axis detector lies 90? from the x-axis detector. These motion detectors are also known as rollers. When the mouse is in use the tracking ball moves moving one or both of the rollers. Each
Make a website.
Shivangee Maurya 9V GCSE ICT Full Course 15/06/07 Hardware I have chosen to make a website I will choose all my hardware and software according to making a website. Hardware Hardware is pieces of equipments which let you do things the basic computer for example mouse, keyboard screen and etc. Mouse- the mouse will be used to drag pictures around the website and edit text and images There are many different types of mouse's we can use and come across the two I have chosen are optical mouse and a ball mouse. A mouse is an input device. They are pointing devices and input device it allows the user to control the movement on the screen. Roller ball Mouse This a mouse which has a ball underneath it and that is how it works the ball acts as the cursor. It is very similar to an optical mouse however an optical mouse works by a light instead of a ball. Advantages * Easy to use. * Very cheap to buy. * Very easy to find in shops. Disadvantages * The ball gets clogged up and can stop working if the lots of dirt get caught in it. * Can very easily break. * Wires can sometimes get tangled. Optical Mouse An optical mouse is mouse which has a light at the bottom of it which acts like the cursor. It is very similar to a roller ball mouse however works by a light in stead of a ball. The light detects the movement you are making and
designing an information system
Report 3 AO1b When designing an information system you first need to consider the output. The output depends on the type of job. If a very basic job is needed you would use a monitor and a printer. The basic input devices are the mouse and the keyboard. Basic output devices are the monitor, the speakers and the printer. I need to consider alternatives so that I can get the best out of my system. The purpose of an input device is to input data or information so it can be converted into the system. Input devices must be fast and accurate. The cost of the product must be reasonably cheap. The main input devices in use today are: Keyboard Web Camera Joy Stick MICR Mouse Scanner Digital Camera OCR/PMR Barcode Readers Microphone An optical wheel mouse is available to me and a QWERTY keyboard. Keyboard Keyboards are the oldest and most familiar type of input device. The way a keyboard works is that each button that is being pressed closes a switch. This releases a code which the computer converts to the relevant character. The keyboard is called a QWERTY keyboard due to the letters on the top right of it. There are two main faults that could be due to the keyboard. The Transposition Error Around 70% of errors are transposition errors. This occurs when two letters (or more commonly) numbers are switched with each other. For example, instead
I am required to carry out a remedial computer maintenance.
UNIT 401 Question 1 I am required to carry out a remedial maintenance on the following Computer consists of: * Gigabyte GA-60XT motherboard * P111 550 Running at 100MHz * 40GB hard disk * Floppy disk drive * CD combi-drive * Graphics card using ATI Range PRO chip set * Running Windows XP operating system * HP LaserJet 6L printer Gigabyte GA-60XT motherboard To carry out remedial maintenance on a motherboard I would need to make sure there is no dust on there I would do this by using a can that is full of compressed air so that it does not damage the motherboard. After carrying that out I would make sure that no components on the motherboard has moved out of place, whilst I was dusting also make sure that I am ESD protected so you do not cause any damage to any components. After I done that I would make sure that the motherboard is screwed in place so that is secured Properly. The steps to take make sure power is turned off 2 make sure take ESD precautions have been taken as this could reduce the life of your motherboard 3 undo the case of base unit 4 look at all components to make sure you know where they were when you finish dust the motherboard using compressed air in a can. Make sure you do not use vacuum as this can damage you motherboard as this give off ESD 5 after dusting your motherboard check everything is in correct possession 6 now check
I am going to create a macro that will allow Mr Gascoigne's company, (Shoes 'n all) to insert a different response into a template letter, so that the letter will contain the necessary information appropriate for the use.
Macro/ Toolbar I am going to create a macro that will allow Mr Gascoigne's company, (Shoes 'n all) to insert a different response into a template letter, so that the letter will contain the necessary information appropriate for the use. I am going to create 4 different Macros. They will input a short paragraph that will tell the reader about their credit bill to the company. The 4 Macro's will be: . To open the Master Letter 2. Telling the reader that their credit bill is up to date and that they hope that the customer will continue using the company to buy their shoes. 3. Telling the customer that their credit bill is slightly behind and that the require the credit bill as soon as possible 4. Telling the customer that they haven't paid their bill for quite a while and that their credit account has been closed. 5. A slogan that will appear in the footer. I first created a simple letter and put in '<' where information will be inserted. (See first of documents) On the same document but on a different page I created the responses that will eventually be the different macros. (See second of documents) I then saved the document as a '.dot' file, as this then becomes the master copy. Once they were created I had to start recording a macro. I went to, file-> new and opened a blank document. New was the time to start recording. I wanted to record a macro that would
Hollywood Express which is a large building off the main road in Ribbleton. The organisation is a large one and provides popcorn, chocolate, sweets, drinks, machinery and other stuff for UCI and Odeon cinemas around the country
A Description of the ICT Systems Used in Hollywood Exp and how they meet there needs. Introduction The person I interviewed was called Eric Tomlinson and his job title was operations manager he was in charge of the warehouse were deliveries are picked (collected) and production were the popcorn is made and packaged. I was shown around both of these areas of the building. Eric Tomlinson who I interviewed used the computer for most of the day but occasionally left his office to check how the staff were doing there job. The company he works for is called Hollywood Express which is a large building off the main road in Ribbleton. The organisation is a large one and provides popcorn, chocolate, sweets, drinks, machinery and other stuff for UCI and Odeon cinemas around the country. The company buys stock from other companies and then provides it for it's customers except for the popcorn as that is produced inside the company itself. The company has around 10 to 15 workers in the ware house, 10 people in production and various other workers in the company Inc managers etc. Input Devices Mouse The small mechanical device whose movement corresponds to pointer movements on a monitor. The mouse is the most commonly used input device the operator will use this more than anything else it allows he/she to click on dropdown menus, minimize programs and exit programs and many
A computer system consists of hardware and software.
A computer system consists of hardware and software. Hardware is the equipment, which makes up the computer system. Hardware consists of: - Input devices such as keyboard, mouse, joystick - The Central Processing Unit (CPU) - Output devices such as a printer, monitor, graph plotter - Backing storage devices such as disc drive, hard drive - Media such as discs, tapes, paper etc There is hardware that I used is: * Mouse * Keyboard * Printer * Monitor * A tracker ball mouse A tracker ball mouse is an input device and similar to a mouse but the ball is set into a cup on the top of the unit. A finger or, on larger tracker balls the palm of the hand, is used to roll the ball in any direction. The ball controls the movement of the pointer on the screen. Buttons on the tracker ball work in the same way as mouse butons to activate processes on the screen. My alternative of using a mouse with a tracker ball would be a mouse without a tracker ball. Benefit: * A tracker ball does not require a large flat surface. Drawbacks: * Most people find them a bit fiddly * Not accurate * Not quiet ALTERNATIVE: Mouse without a tracker ball The pointer on the monitor screen mirrors the movement of the mouse by the user's hand. Under the mouse is a ball, which rolls as the mouse is moved. This movement of he ball causes two shafts to rotate inside the mouse; one shaft records
