Buying vs Building
for me buying is currently better do to my lack of knowlage of how to put a computer togeather. upgradeing a prebuilt computer would probably be my choice because that would be unplug ram#1 and install ram#2 so i could do that easily enough. Building a computer would be better for someone with advanced knowlage of cpu systems because they could personlize it. hobbists can have fun with parts hunting and gamers can have lots of ram and a great grafics card without needing to get a high end super high end hard drive. There are also quite a few advantages to getting a prebuilt computer first you get it immidately. #2 all of the components are compatable with each other. #3 for customer support you only need to have one destination.

I know very little about computer systems i know hardware is the physical parts of the computer and the soft ware is the discs installed into the computer. i have seen the inside of a computer about three times in my life and the last time the part were explained to me was in grade 1 at cub scouts. i know a network is your feed to the internet but i don't know how to set one up besides plugging one into the computer. and i know that i use windows and it works ok not great but ok.

I Chose this magazine because it was one i thought would be easy to do and is also one of the few I know of.To make this i used the polygonal laso on a regular basis to remove excess and shape images. I also croped a few images with the crop tool. The tool i used most would have to be Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v I also used Ctrl+z Ctrl+n Ctrl+shift+s Ctrl+shift+x. the pictures I chose were all about warhammer the game the magazine is dedicated to. I picked a golden demon winning model a few ruin terrain pieces the warhammer logo and a nice background of jungle ruins.
In fireworks I used the polygonal laso to select items. I changed the font with the assets tool bar I changed the hue and saturation to darken some of the colors. I used the erasers to delete some of the extra spaces i had.

today i finished off my type within type project and started my magazine search to no avail espeacially because none of them were proper size. I had a little troble with the sizing of my words in type within type but it still is probably worth a 3.5 on because i changed the size shape color and font of the carefully selected words.
