-- Preview of the next revolution: "pervasive computing"
-- Computer hardware: microprocessors, memory, storage, I/O, displays, and architecture
-- Windows, Macintosh, UNIX/Linux, DOS, NetWare, Palm: what operating systems do, and how they compare
-- Programming languages: from machine language to advanced object-oriented technologies
