It’s a pretty good book about what is in a computer overall; it even explains the function of a mouse and keyboard even though everyone knows what they do. We just finished covering the information processing cycle and now we are on software programs.

I have some vision so I thought of using those dark 20/20 pens but to my knowledge they are not in color; I want something in color. Hmm. Maybe Mr sketch markers; although I don’t want something that thick. I want something like a 20/20 pen in color; like basic colors such as red and green.
