INTEL PROCESSORS, THE HIS TORY
Intel was one of the pioneering Microprocessor manufacturers when it created
the 4004 processor in 1971. This was followed by the 8080 processor in the late 70's,
which was developed into the 8086 and 8088 processors in 1979. It was only when,
in 1981 IBM selected the 8086 processor for its new Personal Computer, the IBM
PC, did the Intel processor design gain its opportunity to be used widely.
The Intel 8086/8088 range of processors were based upon Complex Instruction
Set Computing (CISC) which allows the number of bytes per instruction to vary
according to the instruction being processed. This is unlike Reduced Instruction Set
Computing (RISC) which has fixed length instructions (typically set at 32 bits each).
The architecture pioneered by Intel has become known as «x86» due to the early
naming system where processors were called 8086, 80186 (not used in PC's), 80286,
80386, and 80486.
In 1982 Intel introduced the 80286 (or 286) processor. This featured significant
enhancements over the 8086/8088 line, mainly by introducing protected mode and
the ability to address up to 16 megabytes of memory.

WHAT IS THE INTERNET
USING the Internet, David, a teacher in the United States, acquired course
materials. A Canadian father accessed it to stay in contact with his daughter in
France. Loma, a housewife, used it to examine scientific research on the early
beginnings of the universe. A farmer turned to it to find information about new
planting methods that make use of satellites. Corporations are drawn to it because of
its power to advertise their products and services to millions of potential customers.
People around the globe read the latest national and international news by means of
its vast reporting and information services.
What is this computer phenomenon called the Internet, or the Net? Do you
personally have need of it? Before you decide to get «on» the Internet, you may want
to know something about it In spite of all the hype, there are reasons to exercise
caution, especially if there are children in the home.
What Is It?
Imagine a room filled with many spiders, each spinning its own web. The webs
are so interconnected that the spiders can travel freely within this maze. You now
