Computers and Fun #2 5/31 Wednesday Afternoon

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."

Abby stared at the table and it's pieces. "Okay, we can work with this. Do you have any ideas on something you want to build?"


"And don't be so down with yourself. This class is going to help you know what you're doing, okay?"

"How about... something that fixes my broken personality?Well.. I don't want anything elaborate... How about... something that lights up?" He's generally quite arrogant but he finds obligation in being respectful to his teachers. PLus he can't slaim to know anything about computers..

"Lighting up we can do." Abby pulled a instruction sheet from her pocket and set it down in front of him. "This is pretty simple. Find the things that looks like the pictures and then put them together like the instructions say."

Abby isn't really trying to talk down to Ranma, she just is trying to make it easy on him.

He doesn't take the lessson as any sort of insult, he appreciates the help without making him ask for it. He begins to examine the diagrams carefully. "Thanks."
