Problem 1: Wiki page with report on demolition lab

Create a wiki page on our [ http://cs.smith.edu/classwiki/index.php/CSC103_Page_2012 student wiki system.]
- You'll have to login with the account that was given to you in class
- You may want to edit the page with the Wiki-Wiki bus on it and add your name next to your account. This is up to you.
Your page should be an illustrated report of the lab on Monday when you took apart the computer.
Each of the parts you found should be presented and documented.
- You should have a photo of the part. The photo should be a photo you took on Monday.
- You should write down what the part is (a processor, memory, the motherboard, etc...)
- The part number, or marker for the part (e.g. Pentium 4), if you found one.
- A quantity associated with the part (e.g. 512 MByte, or 2.8 GHz)
- A short description of what the purpose of this part is in a computer. What it's for. You can use the Web to find such information, which you should reference on your page, and you should create a link to that page. For example, if you use Wikipedia to describe what the processor is used for, you could do this as follows:

Processor
- Motorola 68010
- 3.1 GHz
- According to wikipedia, a processor "incorporates the functions of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) on a single integrated circuit, (IC) or at most a few integrated circuits. It is a multipurpose, programmable device that accepts digital data as input, processes it according to instructions stored in its memory, and provides results as output. It is an example of sequential digital logic, as it has internal memory." (in Wikipedia. Retrieved Feb. 15 2012, from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprocessor).
