What computer software were computers using before Microsoft was invented? I googled it and couldn't find any info on it. Thanks and no jokes or dissing please.
Answer
hi,
First of all let me tell you one thing that before microsoft there was very little scope for personal computers and softwares related to those computers. Still there were some softwares and software building programming languages. FORTRAN or formula translation, the first high level programming language, was invented by John Backus for IBM, in 1954, and released commercially, in 1957. It is still used today for programming scientific and mathematical applications. Fortran began as a digital code interpreter for the IBM 701 and was originally named Speedcoding. John Backus wanted a programming language closer to human language, which is the definition of a high level language.
At that time the softwares available were Aldus Pagemaker, Trillian, Wordstar, Computer Chess, VisiCalc Spreadsheet. WordStar - The First Word Processor Released in 1979 by Micropro International, WordStar was the first commercially successful word processing software program produced for microcomputers and the best selling software program of the early eighties. first desktop publishing program was created by Paul Brainard and a company called Aldus, the program called "Aldus Pagemaker 1.0" was released in July, 1985 for the "Macintosh" and in December, 1986, for the "IBM". If you go with the history of operating system than previously there was nothing except UNIX.

How much do computer repairmen get paid in the Dallas area?
tws1209
Computer repairmen that work at Geek Squad or another computer repair business. A person with a degree of some sort. Also, what would be the salary of a Computer Programmer in the Dallas area? God Bless!
Answer
A good friend of ours owns a communications/networking installation/computer support business in Dallas. For skilled computer repair people he pays $30/hour, it is all contracted work at businesses and corporations and is completely full time. They offer several company benefits such as bonuses, healthcare plan, etc.
We know another person who owns a franchise similar to Geek Squad, he chrages a "trip charge" then bills at $60/hour. He pays the employee at $35/hour, the extra $25 covers employment/advertising costs, the trip charge is basically where his profit sits. Most "house calls" generally tip as well, adding to the pay. His calls are primarily home computer uses rather than businesses. He charges and pays more for after hours/weekend work. While he pays more for his techs, they do not necessarily get 40 hours per week, his techs are only "on the clock" if they are working, and the calls can sometimes be spotty. Some weeks get more than 40 hours, some weeks they get less. They do not have many benefits.

What computer brands allow you to build your own computer?
Q. I know I want to build my own computer for college. But the only brand that I know of that does build computers to your specification is Dell. However, I'm pretty sure that there is another top of the line brand that lets you build your own computer. So if you can have get some more options of brands for which I can choose that will be great.
Answer
All brands let you customize the computer models. But when people talk about building their own computer, that's not what they mean. What they're talking about is purchasing each component individually and putting it together yourself. It's much cheaper than having someone like Dell or HP do it for you. Sites like http://www.newegg.com and http://www.tigerdirect.com will sell you the parts pretty cheap. You need to pick out your components (and make sure that they fit), then assemble them at the end.

Can a computer virus passively infect the computer by just being online?
whatdoikno
Can a computer virus infect my computer just by being online? No downloading or uploading. No file sharing. No instant messaging/chatting. No opening of new browsers or opening email or email contents and such. Just leaving my computer on with my homepage screen and connected to internet.
Answer
Yes. And no. At some point, something HAD to be done to allow access to your system. Once it's already ON your system (via a Trojan Horse or some other "insider" method), it's created what's known as a backdoor... at that point the program running somewhere out there online DOES have access to your computer because you're online... but only because of something that was let into your system at some point in the past.
