What is hardware? Webster's dictionary gives us the following definition of this word: the mechanical, magnetic, electronic and electrical devices composing a computer system. A typical personal computer (See Figure 1) has components to display and print information (monitor and laser printer); to input commands and data (keyboard and mouse); to retrieve and store information (CD-ROM and disk drives); and to communicate with other computers (modem).
