COMPUTER STUFF
Since I'm a computer science student and truly enjoy mucking around
with computers and computer programs, I thought it appropriate to
devote a section of my site to computery things. So there's a section about
my computer (because that's kind of important
to me -- and a sizeable investment). For my convenience and to be genuinely
usefull I've put up links to some general computer web
pages relating to both hardware, software, and other stuff. There
are brief descriptions of subjects within computer science
that interest me. And I've provided a link back to
my research.
