Computers use RAM to hold the program code and data during computation. A defining characteristic of RAM is that all memory locations can be accessed at almost the same speed. Most other technologies have inherent delays for reading a particular bit or byte.
Many types of RAM are volatile, which means that unlike some other forms of computer storage such as disk storage and tape storage; they lose all data when the computer is powered down. Modern RAM generally stores a bit of data as either a charge in a capacitor, as in dynamic RAM, or the state of a flip-flop, as in static RAM.

I love to learn, and the computer world gives me an opportunity to do that! All of my knowledge is either School or self-taught or absorbed from friends/associates who are more knowledgeable in other computer related areas. I love networking and web design, though oftentimes you'll find me at a client's home helping them with their personal computer problems.
Running my business has allowed me the freedom to work when clients need me and yet not miss out on valuable family time. My kid thinks it's normal to have Daddy around working on computer during the night, I feel very fortunate.
Please understand that I work with computers because I love to. I enjoy what I do, I enjoy working with my clients and I would love the opportunity to earn your business!
