"Short for Standard Generalized Markup Language, a system for organizing and tagging elements of a document. SGML was developed and standardized by the International Organization for Standards (ISO) in 1986. SGML itself does not specify any particular formatting; rather, it specifies the rules for tagging elements. These tags can then be interpreted to format elements in different ways." -http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/S/SGML.html

Network Presentation (4 home computers)

You can organize and store files in the documents section of the home section of your OS. You can also rename files from this section. Under the gear icon and the under devices icon you can troubleshoot and adjust settings. You can install and uninstall applications in the software center. You can change directories from the home. I did not know that Ubuntu had a built in software center. I also did not know they had their own word processor. Super computers use a form of linux where many home computers use windows 7.

Hi I am Henry Gilbert, I am looking forward to learning a lot about computers in the next few months. I am working on computer number 14 and will continue to work on this computer. I do not have much experience on computers aside from playing lots of video games on them. I have a computer at home. It is a home built computer that runs on windows 7. I mainly use this computer to play video games.  I have taken no computer courses before. By the end of this course I want to have a general knowledge of computers that is greatly better than my own. My best subject is Latin and my worst subject is English. I am excited to make an android game.
