A Better Understanding of the Inner Workings of a Computer - News - Bubblews: "This is going to be my very first entry on to this site, as well as my first venture into online blogging/article writing in general, so please try to bear with me. Any (constructive) criticism, tips, or hints are more than welcome!

Everything's different, but this is a time for closing your eyes, making the leap, and embracing change."
