After reading chapter 8, I learned about computer security risks and crimes. I also learned about computer viruses. A virus is designed to affect computers negatively by altering the way they work. There are boot sector viruses, file viruses, and macro viruses. Worms and Trojan horses are two names used instead of saying computer virus. System failure is another thing I learned about. System failures occur because of electrical problems, hardware failure, or software error. Undervoltage, overvoltage, power surge are all problems that can occur.
New skills that I have learned are basically dealing with Excel and Powerpoint. I knew how to use both softwares, but after doing the activities and skill checks I really learned a lot more. Over the summer I used Excel a lot at my work, but I didn't know how to use all of the formulas and other things that we learned in class.
This class is pretty good. I think it is pretty helpful and will be in the future if not right now. This weekend I went to Kissimmee and went to Medieval Times Dinner with some friends. It was a lot of fun and I took a lot of pictures.

I am from central florida, and medieval times is so much fun! I know someone who works there and has to talk in the olde english speak. It's really funny!
I used to live in Kissimmee, very briefly. Its way too busy to live full time. Medieval Times is really fun, but it seems to have lost popularity over the last 10 years.
