A printer is a common peripheral device that creates computer output in print format. It takes digital information from the computer and transfers it onto paper or other types of media.

Excel would be the best program to use for keeping track of weekly expenses because it is a spreadsheet program that allows you to easily create tables and organize data.

The CPU, monitor, mouse, keyboard and internal memory are all considered hardware.

.doc, .pages and.txt all are text file types, .exe and .bat are executable file types that might run a program, and .com and .org are domain name extentions. Jpg, .gif and .png are the most common file types for pictures.

Your H drive, your school's common drive and Fortshare, are all on server, where the resources are shared among all the schools. If you save it to one of these three, the file is NOT located locally on your computer.
