Question:

How many computers can I safely connect to an electric outlet?

There are 12 computers in a classroom, but only 2 electric outlets. Can we connect an extension cord to another extension cord?
I’m more concerned about safety. The computers have been running with no problems. The outlet is too far from the computers, that’s why we have to use two extension cords/surge protector to be able to reach. How do I find out about amps?
I have 6 computers connected to one outlet and the other 6 connected to the other outlet through 2-6ft surge protectors.
Thank you guys for all the help.
They are all desktops. No printers.
thank you again guys.

You’re probably pushing your luck with that configuration. I assume not only are the computers plugged in, but each has a monitor? Any printers, network devices, other things plugged in?

If they’re all on at the same time, you could be heading for trouble. As you note though, this depends on how the electric line itself. It may be OK. Ask your maintenance guys to check.

Question:

What are the advantages or disadvantages of a computers memory being split into two hard drives?

I think that’s what it is… when I go to the computer section I see two hard drives, each with ~53 GB each. If I am right in thinking these are two seperate drives, is there any reason I shouldnt have it this way? All my other computers only have one main drive.

Best answer:

Answer by Colanth
It can be 2 drives, or 2 partitions on the same drive, which gives you 2 logical drives (C: and D:, but they’re both on the same physical device).

Two drives makes it easier to find things, since there’s less to look through. Two physical drives speeds things up for some programs.

Question:

How do I put my iTunes library on both of my computers?

I have 2 computers I use all the time; my notebook and my desktop. Over the years, I have put hundreds of dollars into songs, TV shows, and movies from iTunes spread out between the 2 computers.

I want to move all of the library from my desktop to my laptop, and vice versa. I know how to do this and will be doing it with one of my expternal hard drives.

However, I hear that you cannot put TV shows etc on two computers. I hear that in order to move it from one PC to another, I have to deauthorize one (even though I am allowed to have 5 authorized PCs to my account).

Is it possible to have my entire library on both computers at the same time? I want to make sure it is even do-able before I spend my time moving 400 GB in media.

Thanks!

Sure… i have the same problem!

In iTunes, right click any song, and click show in windows explorer (or finder, depends on OS), Click the Up Folder button, until you get to a folder that says iTunes Library. Copy all that and drag it into your hard drive. pop in the hard drive and drag the folder in your docs. Copy everything in that computer to the REAL folder, then delete the “not real” one.

MAKE SURE BOTH COMPUTERS ARE AUTHORIZED WHILE DOING THIS!

Or, you could just e-mail that folder to yourself and open it on your computer

Best of luck

Question:

What is the difference in amount of vacuum tubes to amplifying circuits used to make computers?

I’m doing a report on the History of computers, and I can’t find this answer straight forward. I know computers switched from Vacuum tubes to amplifying circuits, and some computers used like 18,000 vacuum tubes- In contrast with the amplifying circuits, does each computer just need one? or a couple? I mean was it all those thousand tubes to the one circuit that made it such an improvement? Or did it just need …less.. Like 100 circuits or something?

Best answer:

Answer by supastremph
The basic mechanics of the circuits remain the same, but a vacuum tube is big, like a light bulb. So the question is this, do you have a building to put your 18,000 vacuum tubes in, or would you rather fit 100,000 on a chip you can fit in your hand?

Question:

How would I go about connecting two computers in order to share workload?

I only have one processor slot on my motherboard, but I have another computer that is basically stripped of everything useful (DVD drives, ram, etc, etc). All that is left is the hard drive, motherboard and processor, power and the fans. I want to use this computer to share workload with my main desktop. I know I can’t connect the motherboards or processors (Pentium 4s), but I know it is possible to connect the computers somehow.

Best answer:

Answer by Chris C
Unfortunately what you’ve got is not going to work. You can either cluster two whole computers together or you can use specific hardware (motherboards with multiple CPU slots etc). Unfortunately you can’t just bolt bits of your old computer together.
