Memory Facts

Computer Memory fact #1: For the faint of heart, when programs or data files are called up from permanent storage, they are not moved, they are merely copied. If the power goes off during processing, programs generally are safe. The only loss will be data that was changed since the last save.

Computer Memory fact #2: If you decided to get a MAC computer, don’t worry. The MAC computer comes loaded with a proprietary operating system and the proper amount of RAM to run it.
