Characteristics of computers
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Its ability to execute the instructions loaded into it in autonomously manner. High speed processing High precision in getting results Large storage capacity and rapid fetching of needed information. Ability to connect to remote peer machines and exchange information
Classification:
Today's computers are classified based on their mode of use; the following is a classification of the computers:
Handheld Computers: Handheld Computer is a small computing device that can be used by
holding in hand. It is also known as palmtop because it can be kept on palm and operated.
Tablet PC: A tablet PC is a miniature laptop. It usually provides all features of laptop along with
extra features like handwriting recognition and voice recognition.
2013
PDA (Personal Digital Assistant)/Pocket PC: The features include contact list, calendar,
task list, e-mail, pocket word-processing and spreadsheet application, presentation viewer, network capability using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth. PDA has a decent size LCD touch screen with a pen for handwriting recognition.
Smartphone: Smartphone is fully functional mobile phone with computing power. The major
difference between PDA and Smartphone is a cell phone with PDA-like capability. Smart phones do not have a touch screen and are smaller than PDA's.
Notebook computers: Notebook computers are portable computers mainly meant for use of
people who need computing resource wherever they go. They are also known as laptops. Processing capability of laptop is normally as good as an ordinary PC, because both use the same type of processor.
Personal computers (PC): A PC is a general purpose computer that fits on a normal size office
table and used by one person at a time. PCs are now very common everywhere, and can be found in offices, classrooms, homes, hospitals, shops, clinics, etc.
2013
Workstations: A work station is a powerful desktop computer designed to meet computing needs
of engineers, architects, and other professionals who need greater processing power, large storage and better graphics display facility than a normal PC's provide. They are used commonly for computer Aided Design (CAD), multimedia applications such as creating special audio visual effect in movies, etc.
Network Computer NC: A large PC-type computer called a Server is connected to smaller PCs
called clients or terminals. A client is a monitor with a keyboard and a small box which contains the CPU and the Main Memory. The Client may not have any hard disks - therefore it is unable to work independently. A client downloads applications and data from the server into its main memory. Then any changes, which are made, will be stored in the server
Main-frames: they are large computers installed in large rooms, with large storage capabilities
and fast computing facilities. They are used in banks, insurance companies that need online processing of large number of transactions.
Super-computers: they constitute the top of the classification in terms of storage capacity and
computation power. They are used for sensitive applications that require a huge amount of computation, like satellite tracing and simulations of warplanes in the battlefield or weather forecast applications.
2013
It comprises: The mother board: the main circuit board, it hosts the computer's central processing unit, expansion slots, and data communication bus.
The central processing unit (CPU) or Microprocessor: is the computer's virtual brain. It has the task of carrying out all the internal operations' that include a variety of computations, numerical comparison and data transfer. It consists of the following units: o The Control Unit (CU): controls and sequences the operations to be performed by the CPU. o The Arithmetical and Logical Unit (ALU): performs the arithmetical and logical operations. o The registers: they are storage locations used to store essential information for the CU and the ALU. A register is essentially a storage space inside the CPU. These registers are used to hold numbers that are currently being manipulated. The large the registers are the larger the numbers they can hold. The size of a register is expressed in bits. A bit is a single binary digit (that takes of the values 0 or 1, true or false, on or off).
2013
Bits are usually grouped into sets of eight to form a byte. One byte can express a number between 0 and 255.
0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1
The more bits a microprocessor can work with at a time, the faster and more efficient it is. 16-bits, 32- bits and 64-bits are the most commonly register sizes used. Data Bus Size: A data bus is the pathway connecting the microprocessor to the memory storage. It is used to transfer program instructions and data from memory to CPU and back. It affects computer performance because it determines how much data can be moved, and therefore processed at the same time. It has, in this regard, direct relations with the registers to which the data is transferred. Expansion Slots: the bus is accessible through a series of expansion slots. Each expansion slot is an internal connector that allows you to plug an additional circuit board into the motherboard. Speed: The speed with which a microprocessor operates depends on two factors: 1) Microprocessor design: the manufacturer specifies a certain range 2) The speed of the system clock: this clock oscillates or ticks at a certain frequency. In general this frequency is several millions per second. The clock is also used to synchronize the internal operations of the computer components. All computer operations require a certain number of clock ticks to be finished. Thus, the faster the clock, the faster the computer is. The speed of the microprocessor is measured by the number of cycles per second, which is expressed in units of frequency called Hertz (Hz). One megahertz (MHz) = one million cycles per second. Coprocessors and multiprocessors: they are technologies that allow more than one CPU to operate concurrently in executing programs. However, some processors can have specialized tasks. In generally, multiprocessing helps to speed up the computer considerable.

2. Memory:
Primary memory: RAMs and ROMs: The RAM (random access memory) is a sequence of individual storage locations. Each location has a unique address. When a number stored in a location, it is said to be written to memory. When a number is looked up in a location, it is said to be read from memory. The technically correct definition of RAM is: storage where all addresses are equally accessible. Sometimes it is called: Read-Write Memory. It has the particularity that if power is cut off the computer its contents loses. The amount of RAM is another factor involved in determining the power of a computer. The more RAM a computer has the more complex programs it can run and the more data it can access quickly. The units used to express memory size are: 1 Byte (B) = 8 bits is the smallest unit that can be directly addressed by most computers. 1 kilobytes (KB) = 210 byte = 1024 bytes. The word one kilo is misused since it means 1024 and not 1000. Thus if we say a memory size of 64 K, we mean 64*1024. 1 Megabyte (MB) = 1024 kilobytes.
2013
In recent days, computers' amount of RAM size can range from 128 MB to 1GB M. ROM: it is Read Only Memory is used for: Storing system programs and routines. It can only be read. It is also a collection of storage locations. The information it has cannot be destroyed if power is cut off. One of its tasks is that it hosts the POST (Power On Self-Test) routines: The first 30 seconds Power On Self-Test (POST): a set of diagnostic routines (encoded in ROM) that ensures that the computer is functioning properly each time it is powered on. The POST validates every byte in RAM, and should detect a bad location, reports the problem before the system is used. It configures the various support chips that work with the microprocessor, determines what optional equipment is attached, gets the keyboard ready to transmit keystrokes to the CPU, and loads the operating system. After this final step, you can see the first evidence that the PC is up.
3. Secondary storage:
Floppy Disk Drive (FDD): works with floppy disks or diskettes, which are inexpensive, flexible magnetic disks encased in plastic. Floppy disks can be inserted and removed from their drive. There are 3 types of Floppy disks: 1. 2. 3. 8FD 5.25 FD (that can hold up to 360 KB), 3.5'' FD that can store up to 1.44 Mbytes and it is indicated by a letter A:\
Hard disk drives: uses one or more rigid, magnetic platters to hold information. Most HDD have their magnetic disks sealed inside permanently. These disks spin much faster and have much greater capacity than FD's. HD's comes in various sizes i.e.: 80 GB, 120 GB, 180 GB, 512 GB etc. It can have any number of partitions and indicated by the letters C:\ D:\ and so on depending on number of partitions made on the hard disk. Compact discs (CDs): A small optical circular disk on which data such as sound, text or graphic images is digitally encoded.
2013
Compact discs are made from a 1.2 mm thick disc or polycarbonate plastic coated with a much thinner aluminum. CDs are available in a range of sizes but by far the most common is: 1. 120mm in diameter, with a 74 minute audio capacity 2. and a 650 MB 3. or 700 MB data. Available in CD, DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), Blu-Ray Disk
Flash drive: Flash drive is a compact device of the size of a pen, comes in various shapes and stylish designs. It is a plug and play device that simply plugs into a USB (universal serial bus) port of computer.
Computer Ports: A port serves as an interface between the computer and other computers or
peripheral devices (as keyboard, mouse, scanner, printers etc.). Physically, a port is a specialized outlet on a piece of equipment to which a plug or cable connects. In the following, some example on computer ports:
1. Serial Port:
This port could be used to connect modems, old mouse and it has two type one of 9 pins and the other of 25 pins.
2. Parallel Port:
It is faster than serial ports and it will be usually used to connect printers and sometimes could be used to connect Scanners.
10
2013
3. USB:
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is used to connect most of the modern external devices now in all the computers like external hard disks, digital camera, flashes, printers, scanners and mobiles etc.
4. PS/2:
Mainly two ports available in each computer machine of PS/2 port. One is dedicated for the keyboard and the other for the mouse.
5. VGA Connector
The VGA connector is used to connect the monitor with the computer mother board.
6. Ethernet port
It is used to connect the computer to the Local Area Network (LAN).
B. Software: The invisible part of the computer system which consists of a set of instructions that
tells the computer what to do and how to do it, such as: Word Processing, Computer Games and Graphics Programs. I. System Software Operating systems (O/S): is the heart and soul of a computer. It is the foundation on which all software applications rest. It takes care of little details, such as reading a data from a disk, interpreting your keystrokes and so on. Its essential job can be divided into 3 categories: 1. 2. 3. Control of Hardware: controls how programs are run, and how the computer resources are used. Manage Software: controls how programs are run, and how the computer resources are used. Interact with users: Helps the average users put their PCs to work.
MS-DOS: it is Microsoft Disk Operating System. It is a single user operating System. Microsoft Windows: it is a single user, multitasking operating system. Examples are Windows 3.0, Windows 95, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
11
2013
MS-Windows NT: it is classified as network operating system. This O/S allows many users to be connected to each other. So each user has his own stand-alone computer while sharing other software, Data-bases, hardware Devices (HDD, printer, etc.) with others. UNIX: it is a multi-user timesharing operating system. Linux: is a multi-tasking multiprocessing O/S.
II. Programming Languages: Machine Language: It is written in binary system composed of 1 and 0. It depends on the computer's architecture. It is difficult a language, which does not need any translator. Assembly Language: Depends on using some of the mnemonic symbols like: MUL for multiply, and SUB for subtract. It uses addressing symbols. Other accounting systems can be used instead of the binary system. It is easier than Machine language, but it still depends on the computer architecture. A translator is needed and it is called Assembler. High Level Languages: Use statements that one can understand. It needs translators. It can be used very easily to solve complex problems. They are independent of the computer's architecture, such as, Pascal, COBOL, Basic, C, C++, Java, etc. Application Generators: Called fourth generation languages. They are database languages used to create files. Forms, queries and reports without the writing of any programs. It uses very simple statements or instructions. It does the job by telling the computer what the user needs, but without telling it how to do it. Compliers and Interpreters: Programs that translate the source code into the object or machine code. A compiler translates a whole program. The object code can be executed. However, the interpreter translates and executes one statement at a time III.Application software Application software is the software that helps the user perform word processing, use electronic spreadsheets to manage tables to extract results (draw graphs, charts, etc.), or to create databases and manage them, to use the Email facilities and access the internet. An example of application software is Microsoft Office which includes Word, Excel, Access, and Power Point etc.

Memory: Memory is one of the more important purchasing decisions on a computer. The more memory in the computer, the more efficient the computer will run. Nowadays memory is ranging from 2GB to 4 GB on personal computers. Hard Drive: The hard drive will be the destination of all your files and information. Make sure you get a hard disk drive that will have plenty of available space and will run at speeds that don't slow the overall computer down. Latest hard disk drives are with the capacity of 500GB to 1 TB. CD/DVD: Most newer computers today have an included disc burner in the computer. If you wish to make your own CD's / DVD's make sure the computer supports it. Modem: Depending on how you plan on connecting to the Internet the Modem may not be that important of a buying decision. Most users today are using broadband Internet, which does not require a modem. However, if this is not available in your area make sure your computer includes a modem.
Computer Ergonomics
It is important to create strain less working environment. Ergonomics refers to the design and functionality that affects the ability of a person to do their work. It comprises of several factors Seating: Chairs should be of adjustable height. Users feet are flat on the floor with their knees level with their hips. It should give support to lower back. The height of the desk and the chair should mean that the forearm is roughly horizontal when using keyboard and mouse. Lighting: The room should be sufficiently lit. Computers should neither face windows nor back on to a window so that users have to sit with the sun in their eyes. Ventilation: The room should have opening windows or air conditions to allow free air circulation to prevent overheating.

Copyright
Computer Software, text, graphics, images, audio and video all these is copyright material. It is owned by the producer and it is illegal to make unauthorized copies. When you buy software it is supplied with in a sealed package on which the terms and conditions of use are printed. This is called the Software Licence. When the user accepts the terms and conditions then it is referred as End User Licence Agreement. The package will have a unique identification number that you may need when installing the software. Software can be installed on the network to be accessed by the multiple users. Licence specifies the number of users that can access software at any point of time. It is illegal to make copies of the software, except for backup purposes, so you are breaking the law if you copy some software from a friend onto removable media such as CD or memory stick to use on your own computer.

the life. Holding personal information thus demands sensitivity and respect. This is reflected in the protection laws.
Access Rights
It is a level of authorization to read and/or modify a record or a data file. In the administration of a multi-user computer system, a privilege is an identified right that a particular user has to a particular system resource, such as a file folder, the use of certain system commands, or an amount of storage. Generally, a system administrator or, in the case of network resources such as access to a particular device, a network administrator assigns privileges to users. System software then automatically enforces these privileges. Users should make sure his password is not given to anyone else.
E-mail viruses:
An e-mail virus travels as an attachment to e-mail messages, and usually replicates itself by automatically mailing itself to dozens of people in the victim's e-mail address book. Some e-mail viruses don't even require a double-click -- they launch when you view the infected message in the preview pane of your e-mail software.
Trojan horses:
A Trojan horse is simply a computer program that claims to do one thing (it may claim to be a game) but instead does damage when you run it (it may erase your hard disk). Trojan horses have no way to replicate automatically.
Worms:
A worm is a small piece of software that uses computer networks and security holes to replicate itself. A copy of the worm scans the network for another machine that has a specific security hole. It copies itself to the new machine using the security hole, and then starts replicating from there, as well.

Antivirus
An antivirus program protects your computer from virus attacking and it must be installed on all the computers systems. Antivirus programs automatically checks for any infected data when the computer is started up. Checks can be performed on floppy drive, CD's and Flash drive before files are accessed. It is better to install antivirus that provides frequent updates online. Antivirus program should be capable of not only detecting the viruses but also of removing it from infected file. This is called disinfecting the file.

Penalties: Infringing upon the author's rights referred to in above paragraphs whether by way of illegal copying or quoting or falsification by way of printing and publication for sale and trading purposes will be punished by imprisonment for a period not exceeding two years and a fine not exceeding Omani Riyals 2000.00 or by any of the said punishments.
What are shareware, freeware, public domain programs and Open source?
Shareware, freeware, and public domain are software categories defined by how programs may be distributed, copied, used, and modified.
Shareware
Shareware software is distributed at low or sometimes no cost, but usually requires payment and registration for full legal use. Copies are distributed on a trial basis. You are free to test the software, see if it matches your needs, and decide whether it's a good value. Order forms or advertisements included in the program or on the distribution disk usually tell you how to register the program and what fee is required. Registered users of a shareware program will typically receive a printed manual, an updated copy of the software, often with additional features, and the legal right to use the program in their home or business. Shareware is not free software, since authors of shareware programs expect payment from those who intend to use the programs regularly. However, it does have the advantage over standard commercial software that you may thoroughly test a program to see if it's useful before making a purchase. Shareware is generally written by individuals or small companies, and its quality and level of support vary widely. In some cases, however, shareware packages are actually more capable than corresponding commercial software, and some commercial programs got their start being marketed as shareware.
17
2013
While shareware may be freely copied, companies may not charge fees for copies that significantly exceed their duplication and handling costs. The authors of shareware programs also retain their copyright on the contents, and you may not modify such programs or distribute modified copies.
Freeware
Freeware is also distributed at minimal cost, but in this case the authors do not expect payment for their work. Typically, freeware programs are small utilities or incomplete programs that authors release for their potential benefit to others, but without support. The author of a freeware program may still retain a copyright on its contents and stipulate that others not modify the program or charge significant fees for its use or distribution.
Open-Source
Open source is a term describing a means of developing and distributing software that ensures software is available for use, modification, and redistribution by anyone. Generally, anyone can download open source software for little or no cost, and can use, share, borrow, or change it without restriction. Open source practice promotes software reliability and quality by supporting independent peer review and rapid evolution of source code.

There is a trend to move toward blended learning services, where computer-based activities are integrated with practical or classroom-based situations. Bates and Poole (2003) and the OECD (2005) suggested that different types or forms of e-learning can be considered as a continuum, from no e-learning, i.e. no use of computers and/or the Internet for teaching and learning, through classroom aids, such as making classroom lecture PowerPoint slides available to students through a course web site or learning management system, to laptop programs, where students are required to bring laptops to class and use them as part of a face-to-face class, to hybrid learning, where classroom time is reduced but not eliminated, with more time devoted to online learning, through to fully online learning, which is a form of distance education. It can be seen then that e-learning can describe a wide range of applications, and it is often by no means clear even in peer reviewed research publications which form of e-learning is being discussed. However, Bates and Poole argue that when instructors say they are using e-learning, this most often refers to the use of technology as classroom aids, although over time, there has been a gradual increase in fully online learning.

What is Spreadsheet? Spreadsheet is a computer application that helps in processing of tabular information usually numbers. There are vertical columns and horizontal rows. A cell is where the column and row intersect. A cell can contain data and can be used in calculations of data within the spreadsheet. Spreadsheet can contain workbooks and worksheets. The workbook is the holder for related worksheets. Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program in the Microsoft Office system. You can use Excel to create and format workbooks (a collection of spreadsheets) in order to analyze data and make more informed business decisions. Specifically, you can use Excel to track data, build models for analyzing data, write formulas to perform calculations on that data, pivot the data in numerous ways, and present data in a variety of professional looking charts. Common uses of spreadsheet like: accounting, budgeting, billing and sales, reporting, planning, tracking, using calendars.

Worksheet: is the grid of cells where you can type the data. The grid divides your worksheet into rows and columns. A worksheet in Excel 2010 consists of 16,384 columns and over 1 million rows. The worksheets in turn are grouped together into a workbook. By default each workbook in Excel 2010 contains 3 blank worksheets, which are identified by tabs displaying along the bottom of your screen. By default the first worksheet is called Sheet1, the next is Sheet2 and so on as shown here. Quick Access Toolbar: A small toolbar on top of the screen next to the Excel logo contains shortcuts for some of the most common commands such as Save, Undo, and Redo buttons. The commands are groups into range of Tabs, and then into various Groups within each Tab. Different Tabs contain the command buttons for different functions. Sometimes the Tab will change automatically depending on the current tasks, sometimes it will need to be changed manually to find required command. Name box: Displays the address of the current active cell where you work in the worksheet. Formula bar: Displays the address of the active cell on the left edge, and it also shows you the current cell's contents. Columns: are identified with letters (A, B, C, and so on), while Rows are identified with numbers (1, 2, 3, and so on). Active Cell: The active cell has the dark border and the column and row indicators are colored. Cell: is identified intersection of each column and row. Each cell has its own unique cell address, which includes both the column letter and the row number. For example, C5 is the address of a cell in column C (the third column), and row 5 (the fifth row). Sheet Tabs: Excel 2010 contains 3 blank worksheet tabs by default. Click on the intended tab will go to the particular worksheet. Status bar: Reports information about the worksheet and provides shortcuts for changing the views (Normal, Page Layout and Page Break) and the zoom (dragging the slider to change). Gridlines: The vertical and horizontal grids that you see when opening the Excel worksheet. You can set to turn it off if you want.

GETTING STARTED
What is PowerPoint?
PowerPoint 2010 is a visual and graphical application, primarily used for creating presentations. With PowerPoint, you can create, view, and present slide shows that combine text, shapes, pictures, graphs, animation, charts, videos, and much more.
Presentations
A PowerPoint presentation is a collection of electronic slides that can have text, pictures, graphics, tables, sound and video. This collection can run automatically or can be controlled by a presenter to be delivered to a specific audience.
Navigation
Navigation through the slides can be accomplished through the Slide Navigation menu on the left side of the screen. Also, an outline appears from materials that have been entered in the presentation. To access the outline, click the outline tab.
Slide Views
The views in Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 that you can use to edit and deliver your presentation are as follows:
101
Basic Computing Skills Slide Sorter view Notes Page view Reading view Master views: Slide, Handout, and Notes Slide Show view (which includes Presenter view) You can find PowerPoint views in two places: View tab, in the Presentations Views and Master Views groups. PowerPoint Window where the main views (Normal, Slide Sorter, Reading, and Slide Show) are available. Views for editing your presentation There are many views in PowerPoint that can help you create a professional presentation.
2013
Normal view Normal view is the main editing view, where you write and design your presentations. Normal view has four working areas: Outline tab: This is a great place to start writing your content to capture your ideas, plan how you want to present them, and move slides and text around. The Outline tab shows your slide text in outline form. Slides tab: View the slides in your presentation as thumbnail-sized images while you edit. The thumbnails make it easy for you to navigate through your presentation and to see the effects of any design changes. You can also easily rearrange, add, or delete slides here. Slide pane: In the upper-right section of the PowerPoint window, the Slide pane displays a large view of the current slide. With the current slide shown in this view, you can add text and insert pictures, tables, SmartArt graphics, charts, drawing objects, text boxes, movies, sounds, hyperlinks, and animations. Notes pane: In the Notes pane, below the Slide pane, you can type notes that apply to the current slide. Later, you can print your notes and refer to them when you give your presentation. You can also print notes to give to your audience or include the notes in a presentation that you send to the audience or post on a Web page. Note: To view the ruler or gridlines in Normal view, on the View tab, in the Show group, select either the Ruler or Gridlines check box. Slide Sorter view Slide Sorter view gives you a view of your slides in thumbnail form. This view makes it easy for you to sort and organize the sequence of your slides as you create your presentation, and then also as you prepare your presentation for printing. You can add sections in Slide Sorter view as well, and sort slides into different categories or sections.
102
Basic Computing Skills Notes Page view When you want to view and work with your notes in full page format, on the View tab, in the Presentation Views group, click Notes Page.
2013
Master views The master views include, Slide, Handout, and Notes view. They are the main slides that store information about the presentation, including background, color, fonts, effects, placeholder sizes and positions. The key benefit to working in a master view is that on the slide master, notes master, or handout master, you can make universal style changes to every slide, notes page, or handout associated with your presentation. Views for delivering your presentation Slide Show view Use Slide Show view to deliver your presentation to your audience. Slide Show view occupies the full computer screen, exactly the way your presentation will look on a big screen when your audience sees it. You can see how your graphics, timings, movies, animated effects, and transition effects will look during the actual presentation. Reading view Use reading view to deliver your presentation not to an audience (via a large screen, for example), but instead to someone viewing your presentation on their own computer. Or, use Reading view on your own computer when you want to view a presentation not in full-screen Slide Show view, but in a window with simple controls that make the presentation easy to review. You can always switch from Reading view to one of the other views if you want to change the presentation.

Slide Master
A slide master is the top slide in a hierarchy of slides that stores information about the theme and slide layouts of a presentation, including the background, color, fonts, effects, placeholder sizes, and positioning. Every presentation contains at least one slide master. The key benefit to modifying and using slide masters is that you can make universal style changes to every slide in your presentation, including ones added later to the presentation. . When you use a slide master, you save time because you don't have to type the same information on more than one slide. The slide master especially comes in handy when you have extremely long presentations with lots of slides. Because slide masters affect the look of your entire presentation, when you create and edit a slide master or corresponding layouts, you work in Slide Master view.
A slide master in Slide Master view Slide layouts associated with the slide master above it When you modify one or more of the layouts beneath a slide master, you are essentially modifying the slide master. Each slide layout, is set up differently, yet all layouts that are associated with a given slide master contain the same theme (color scheme, fonts, and effects). The figure on the right side shows a single slide master with the Austin theme applied, and three supporting layouts. Notice how each of the supporting layouts shown portray a different version of the Austin theme using the same color scheme, but in a different layout arrangement. Also, each layout provides text boxes and footers in different locations on the slide, and different font sizes in the various text boxes.

Username Located to the left of the @ symbol, a user name identifies your account on the email server that handles the email. For example, Ali might choose "ali" as his username. However, someone may have already chosen ali, so have some other choices ready. Choose a user name that sounds professional and is easy to remember. 2. @ Means "at" and separates your account name and the name of the mail server name. For example, ali "is located at" squ.edu.om. Its address will be ali@squ.edu.om. 3. Domain Name: The domain name usually consists of two pieces of identifying information. The first piece is the name of the email server and is located to the right of the @ symbol. For example, squ is the name of the email server. The second piece, usually a three-letter extension, indicates the toplevel domain. Top-level domains help you to know the type of organization the recipient is associated with. See the chart below:
Extension .com Meaning Examples www.microsoft.com, A company or business www.yahoo.com
