How to Boot From a CD or USB Drive on Any PC There's a very slim chance that your 486 would even be running Windows as it's OS, (there were a few models sold with quad-clocked processors running Win95 at most, or 98 if a user upgraded it) but probably as the old GUI (Win 3.1) to load over DOS (probably 6.xx) The F12 trick won't apply here. Try hitting DEL at post, or maybe the ESC key... or one of a slew of other F-keys that various motherboard manufacturers had assigned to pop up BIOS setup... watch the screen at boot, it should tell you what key to use, but this instructon will flash by you pretty quickly, so be quick) Once in Bios setup, mull around in there and find an option named like "Boot Order". Also, very few if any 486s came with USB ports. Good luck even getting a small thumbdrive to work in DOS... Good luck with it! 486 packard bell Brave of you to admit it here. I use "OS on a Floppy" for my 100Mhz Compaq 9232.

Orion Nebula | Alien Worlds: Shedding light on our unearthly universe We've been enraptured by this most eye-catching of constellations since ancient times. It's a beautiful sight that dominates our winter skies in northern latitudes. The constellation was named after Orion the Hunter, a character in Greek mythology. Story continues below animation. Download this animation from iTunes U © 2003 Torsten BrongerReproduced under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Wikimedia Commons, 2008 The ‘right shoulder’ of the ‘hunter’ is a star called Betelgeuse (sometimes pronounced ‘Beetlejuice’, but that's probably not the most correct way of saying it). It's very likely that Betelgeuse will soon explode and become a spectacular supernova. The constellation's ‘left knee’ is the brilliant blue star called Rigel. But perhaps the jewel in the crown is Orion's great nebula. The excitement of this finding revolved around strange ‘proplyds’, as seen in the photograph below. © C.R. The proplyds are also known as ‘protoplanetary disks’.

Coined as "nano-technology" in a 1974 paper by Norio Taniguchi at the University of Tokyo, and encompassing a multitude of rapidly emerging technologies, based upon the scaling down of existing technologies to the next level of precision and miniaturization. Foresight Nanotech Institute Founder K. In the future, "nanotechnology" will likely include building machines and mechanisms with nanoscale dimensions, referred to these days as Molecular Nanotechnology (MNT). Click image for larger version. This image was written using Dip-Pen Nanolithography, and imaged using lateral force microscopy mode of an atomic force microscope. It uses a basic unit of measure called a "nanometer" (abbreviated nm). There are one billion nm's to a meter. Some of the most promising potential of nanotechnology exists due to the laws of quantum physics. "We know it's possible.

14 things that are obsolete in 21st century schools | Ingvi Hrannar Saying that it has always been this way, doesn’t count as a legitimate justification to why it should stay that way. Teacher and administrators all over the world are doing amazing things, but some of the things we are still doing, despite all the new solutions, research and ideas out there is, to put it mildly, incredible. I’m not saying we should just make the current system better… we should change it into something else. I have compiled a list of 14 things that are obsolete in 21st century schools and it is my hope that this will inspire lively discussions about the future of education. 1. Computer Rooms The idea of taking a whole class to a computer room with outdated equipment, once a week to practice their typewriting skills and sending them back to the classroom 40 minutes later, is obsolete. Computers or technology shouldn’t just be a specific subject, that’s not sufficient anymore but rather it should be an integral part of all the subjects and built into the curriculum. 2. 3. 4.
