=The Live binder for this class is:= : [] =Please Note:= Our class will NOT meet on Wed. night. I have an independent study activity for you to do on your own. You have each decided on an area of interest that you are going to pursue for your project. That may be setting up and organizing emails, importing and organizing photos, setting up your computer with your system preferences, finding out about iTunes and organizing music are examples. You may just want time to explore and become more familiar with your Mac. I have prepared a LIvebinder of resources/tutorials to guide your explorations. You will use these resources and then begin your work on applying them. If you have any questions you may email me and I will try to assist you. I will be available all evening on Wed. if you need assistance. After your exploration I would like you to post a brief description of what you worked on and learned in the discussion forum. Or, post questions if you are looking for more information. Feel free to respond to others postings and offer comments or assistance. Posting directions are on the **independent study** page. The resources are in a Livebinder at: [] . Click on this address or copy it into the address bar on your computer. The resources are also listed on the **independent study** page in this wiki. Good luck. I will wait to hear about your work.

From Simple:
History of Mac Computers Founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne, Apple Inc. has grown into a renowned corporation, being at the forefront of many technological advancements in consumer electronics. Part of that success can be attributed to the personal computers it began to manufacture almost as soon as it came into existence. Such machines have come to be known with the brand name, Macintosh--or more commonly by the shortened form, Mac.

To Complex:
Eight bits stacked together form a byte The Difference Between Gibibyte & Gigabyte The gibibyte and the gigabyte are both symbols for units of digital information, most commonly found in computer systems. The key difference between the two units is that the gibibyte is derived from the gigabyte, replacing the gigabyte as a deprecated unit amount. The two units are synonymous with the binary prefix (the exponentiation) used to calculate the amount of information compared to the standard byte.
