Can you be a tad more specific.

The biggest disadvantage is all the work a file system creates. Without any file system, you couldn't put software on your computer, or store any files. This would mean that programmers, technicians, and various other IT people would have a lot less to do.

They sort of go hand in hand.  As computer hardware gets better, the software people will write software with more features and things that take advantage of the increased speed.  On the other side, sometimes, the software gets slightly ahead, so the hardware people have to make faster hardware to support the new features of the software.

the evaluation of all computer ware as in any thing is important before you purchase an item.\nbut with a computer the final goals of what it is going to do before you go out there and purchase the hardware and software is particular importance

It's a homework question...am I right?  It's cool, you need help just the same, why not give some?\n\n1. Volatile memory (RAM)\n2. Non-volatile memory (hard drive, disk drive, CD-ROM...)\n3. Power supply\n\n(your turn) :-)

If you want it cheap, build it yourself. If you are a novice to building PC's a step by step guide can be found here (it is free has photos and is easy to follow).\n\nhttp://www.youcanbuildapc.com/\n\nThe advantage you gain is that you can improve the important components you need for the type of computer you want to build.

Well one advantage is that without them you wouldn't be able to communicate with your computer, by using your keyboard or mouse, and you wouldn't be able to get a response from the printer or monitor without them.

Computer  instructions or data. Anything that can be stored electronically is software. The storage devices and display devices are hardware.\n\nRetail software: This type of software is sold off the shelves of retail stores. It includes expensive packaging designed to catch the eye of shoppers and, as such, is generally more expensive. An advantage of retail software is that it comes with printed manuals and installation instructions, missing in hard-copy form from virtually every other category of software. However, when hard-copy manuals and instructions are not required, a downloadable version off the Internet will be less expensive, if available.\n\nOEM software: OEM stands for "Original Equipment Manufacturer" and refers to software sold in bulk to resellers, designed to be bundled with hardware. For example, Microsoft has contracts with various companies including Dell Computers, Toshiba, Gateway and others. Microsoft sells its operating systems as OEM software at a reduced price, minus retail packaging, manuals and installation instructions. Resellers install the operating system before systems are sold and the OEM CD is supplied to the buyer. The "manual" consists of the Help menu built into the software itself. OEM software is not legal to buy unbundled from its original hardware system.\n\nShareware: This software is downloadable from the Internet. Licenses differ, but commonly the user is allowed to try the program for free, for a period stipulated in the license, usually thirty days. At the end of the trial period, the software must be purchased or uninstalled. Some shareware incorporates an internal clock that disables the program after the trial period unless a serial number is supplied. Other shareware designs continue to work with "nag" screens, encouraging the user to purchase the program.\n\nCrippleware: This software is similar to shareware except that key features will cease to work after the trial period has ended. For example, the "save" function, the print function, or some other vital feature necessary to use the program effectively may become unusable. This "cripples" the program. Other types of crippleware incorporate crippled functions throughout the trial period. A purchase is necessary to unlock the crippled features.\n\nDemo software: Demo software is not intended to be a functioning program, though it may allow partial functioning. It is mainly designed to demonstrate what a purchased version is capable of doing, and often works more like an automated tutorial. If a person wants to use the program, they must buy a fully functioning version.\n\nAdware: This is free software that is supported by advertisements built into the program itself. Some adware requires a live Internet feed and uses constant bandwidth to upload new advertisements. The user must view these ads in the interface of the program. Disabling the ads is against the license agreement. Adware is not particularly popular.\n\nSpyware: Spyware software is normally free, but can be shareware. It clandestinely "phones home" and sends data back to the creator of the spyware, most often without the user's knowledge. For example, a multimedia player might profile what music and video files the software is called upon to play. This information can be stored with a unique identification tag associated with the specific program on a user's machine, mapping a one-to-one relationship. The concept of spyware is very unpopular, and many programs that use spyware protocols were forced to disclose this to users and offer a means to turn off reporting functions. Other spyware programs divulge the protocols in their licenses, and make acceptance of the spyware feature a condition of agreement for using the software.\n\nFreeware: Freeware is also downloadable off the Internet and free of charge. Often freeware is only free for personal use, while commercial use requires a paid license.

Shared resources is the your top advantage.  Users are able to share printers, scanners, and files.

Advantages of LAN:\n\n1. Easier to maintain than a WAN\n\n2. More secure\n\n3. Better connectivity\n\n4. Often easier to configure than a WAN\n\nDisadvantages of LAN:\n\n1. You often only have 1(one) access point.\n\n2. It's limited on who can use it\n\n3. When one computer goes down they all go down(depending on configuration)\n\n\nAdvantages of WAN:\n\n1. Broader reception area.\n\n2. More recievable connections available\n\n3. Portablility (if you use a laptop)\n\nDisadvantages of WAN\n\n1. Not as much security as a LAN\n\n2. If the Hub goes down your network goes down\n\n3. Less reception with a WAN than a LAN\n\n\nThese are just some things I could think of i'm sure others can/will offer more info that is probably better than mine.

if you are building a computer then you should know all about the hardware as well. dont try and do something you know nothing about

Computer System & Networking will give you a good understanding of computer hardware and computer networking. You will know how to trouble shoot hardware, software, and network related problems. However, if you would really like to learn about all the inner workingsof a computer and how they inner relate to one another then I would suggest pursuing something in Computer Science or Computer Engineering. In my personal opinion this would be a better choice.

ok well I don't know what you mean by this, but when determining the limitations of a computer look, and the amount of ram it has, the processor type and speed, and the size of hard drive it has.  Those are some key factors to determine how well a computer will perform.

The computer with latest available features are the best computer to buy. Because since interms technologies outdating very often, to maintain the value of your investment atleast for some length of your future go for a computer with latest processors with required availble features.
