When electrification came, Americans began to speak of trolleycars or later, trolleys, believed to derive from the troller, a four-wheeled device that was dragged along dual overhead wires by a cable that connected the troller to the top of the car and collected electrical power from the overhead wires, sometimes simply strung, sometimes on a catenary.

When AA was ported to the English Electric KDF9 computer, the character set was changed to ISO and that compiler has been recovered from an old paper tape by the Edinburgh Computer History Project and is available online, as is a high-quality scan of the original Edinburgh version of the Atlas Autocode manual.

When management refused to support the concept, Ahl left DEC in 1974 to found the seminal computer magazine, Creative Computing.

When a backplane is used with a plug-in single board computer ( SBC ) or system host board ( SHB ), the combination provides the same functionality as a motherboard, providing processing power, memory, I / O and slots for plug-in cards.

When a customer bought a minicomputer, at that time the smallest computer on the market, the computer did not come with Pre-installed software, but needed to be installed by engineers employed by the OEM.

When the amount of RAM is not sufficient to run all the current programs, it can result in a situation where the computer spends more time moving memory from RAM to disk and back than it does accomplishing tasks ; this is known as thrashing.

When the computer ran a program that needed access to a peripheral, the Central processing unit ( CPU ) would have to stop executing program instructions while the peripheral processed the data.

When a computer allows the use of folders, each file and folder has not only a name of its own, but also a path, which identifies the folder or folders in which a file or folder resides.

When this flag is turned on for a file ( which can be accomplished by a computer program or by a human user ), the file can be examined, but it cannot be modified.

When computer files contain information that is extremely important, a back-up process is used to protect against disasters that might destroy the files.

When a DHCP-configured client ( a computer or any other network-aware device ) connects to a network, the DHCP client sends a broadcast query requesting necessary information to a DHCP server.

When social identity and ingroup status are salient, computer mediation can decrease flaming because individuals focus their attention on the social context ( and associated norms ) rather than themselves.

When a pilot moves the control column ( or sidestick ), a signal is sent to a computer ( analogous to moving a game controller ) the signal is sent through multiple wires ( channels ) to ensure that the signal reaches the computer.
