Abby sat on top of the table in the computer lab, sipping a large glass of pop. As each student came in, they would find a box of various computer parts and a lab coat stitched with their name.

"Hey guys, how did the virtual pets go last week? Did any of them live through the whole week?" Abby grinned at a few of the students. "Or even last through the class?"

"Today we're going to over the basics of computers, how they work and how to build them." Abby launched into a brief history of computers and how they operate, covering everything from the abacus to windows XP. Okay, so maybe it wasn't that brief. "Just in case some of you fell asleep during that, we're going to watch a video that might help you understand."

Abby lifted up a spare box of parts and shook it lightly. "In each of your boxes you'll find enough bits and pieces to make a rudimentary computer. Each box is different, but everyone should be able to make something that can light up or beep or do both. Be sure to wear your lab coats to protect your clothing, not to mention the fact that they look really spiffy."

Listen to the lecture, watch the video, ~~sleep~~ ask questions.

Willow took avid notes. This was the sort of enthusiasm that other students would probably reserve for Becky's sex ed workshop. To Willow sex ed vs. computers was six of one, half-dozen of the other.

Conner spent the lecture and video doodling a schematic of something that looked a lot like a soccer scoreboard. Odds were very, very good that it was, in fact, a soccer scoreboard.

Demyx stared throughout the movie. It was hard to tell if he was actually avidly watching...or if he fell asleep with his eyes open.

Sam took notes that could have almost rivaled Willow's. Clearly, he was going to have to learn how to write faster.

Peter's notes were a bit shorter than Sam's, but he had developed a pretty efficient shorthand for note-taking thanks to his journalism experience last semester so the information was just better packed in there.

Ranma tries his best to pay attention and does a great job for about 10 minutes. He procedes to fall asleep face first on the desk somehow.

Mac watches the video, scribbling the odd illegible note down on her pad of paper.
