    Friday we are in the WRT 112 computer lab (Wright Hall 112) again.

    We will do some ethereal and might also do some batch file exercises. 
We might do a batch file on Windows XP and then do a batch file on your 
sunny.uni.edu Unix account too.

    Today is January 30th, but in binary we would say January 11110 and in
base 16 hexadecimal we would say January 1E is the date.

    30  = 11110  = 1E          <------- 3 different ways to express thirty
      10       2     16                                             ------
                                  11110 = 1 1110 = 0001 1110
                                                    one fourteen
                                                      1 14
                                                      1 E    1E  = 11110
                                                               16       2

     Material on the 4 generations of computers:

  A transistor is not a computer, but it is one of the influential
  inventions that greatly affected the next course of history for computers
  and enabled the next generation of computers to be created. The first
  generation of computers used vacuum tubes, the second generation of
  computers used transistors, the third generation of computers used
  integrated circuits and the fourth generation of computers used
  microprocessors.
