What is hardware?

        The stuff you can actually see and touch, and would likely break if you threw it out a fifth-story window, is hardware.Not everybody has exactly the same hardware. But those of you who have a desktop system, like the example shown in Figure 1, probably have most of the components shown in that same figure. Those of you with notebook computers probably have most of the same components. Only in your case the components are all integrated into a single book-sized portable unit.
