Answer 1

If you have to cheat to get through the introduction course, you need to find a different career path. If you aren't going to do your studies, what the hell are you doing in the course?

Answer 2

I'm only going to give you hints because you really need to be doing your own homework.



1. "Optical" means having to do with light, lasers, and lenses.



2. Google "floppy disk storage capacity" or if you have a textbook go to the index and look up "floppy disk", it should take you straight to a page that will tell you the answer.



3. Look up "CD-R" and "CD-RW" on wikipedia to find out what the letters mean, and it will pretty much give you the answer.



4 and 5: Do the same thing I told you to do for the floppy disk question



6. Rephrase the question to make it clearer: "Are there any other drives besides CD-R that can burn CDs?"



7. Google It.



8. Look for the type of storage that's optical.



9. Google it but be aware this one is a trick question! It used to be one answer but then eventually they changed it to mean something else when DVDs started getting popular for videos.



10. If you looked up some of the previous questions you should be able to answer this one.
