Hi, Katie. I'm back from the monthly shopping binge. We cut it short though - Bob was feeling a bit funny and my right knee started cutting out on me! Imagine that! You'd think it was old or something! Truth is, I twist it in my sleep sometimes.

Anth, you'll be getting new glasses, will you! That's probably a good thing.

I found out this morning that my CPU Usage runs between 2 and 91% Does anybody know what that means? What do I do about it?

Doing fine. I slept till 10. I am doing house cleaning today. The cats and dogs hate it when I do that.

Evening all! Just had a huuuuuuge bowl of pasta so I'm stuffed

Got a spot of work to do for the tutorial tomorrow like, so that should take me all of an hour. Fun day tomorrow

Our cats hate that too, Sonya. Esspecially the vacuum. Max disappears. Sometimes I wonder if he studied under Houdini!

Ah, well, Anth - sometimes you have to work at university. The play is really not the main reason for being there! Really!

Seriously, what course is it that you've homework to do for?

Hi Marianne That's a bummer.

I sure don't know. That's a big difference though.

I looked it up and found this:

Abbreviation of central processing unit, and pronounced as separate letters. The CPU is the brains of the computer. Sometimes referred to simply as the processor or central processor, the CPU is where most calculations take place. In terms of computing power, the CPU is the most important element of a computer system.

On large machines, CPUs require one or more printed circuit boards. On personal computers and small workstations, the CPU is housed in a single chip called a microprocessor.

Two typical components of a CPU are:

* The arithmetic logic unit (ALU), which performs arithmetic and logical operations.
* The control unit (CU), which extracts instructions from memory and decodes and executes them, calling on the ALU when necessary.

Mine did too because I made noise and moved things around.

Just an hour? Nice.

Afternoon Marianne and Katie. I miss being around everyday.

Well I have been flying under the radar lately. It's been tough to get online after school. Most of the time I'm correcting papers, planning lessons, and doing my own course work. While I still have a great deal to do tonight, I was feeling the need to stop by the saloon for a drink. Glad to see everyone is doing well.

Thanks for the information, Katie. I don't understand it at all, but I do most surely appreciate you looking it up for me!
