Hardware

Mr. Hechler is a very knowledgeable in the areas of computer hardware. I worked at CompUSA for eight months so I have an alright base of knowledge of computer hardware but nothing in comparison to Mr. Hechler. One thing the taught me that I didn't know is that laptops with wireless have an antenna  that goes all around the exterior of the laptop.  That is a fairly ingenious idea by the computer engineers.  I have always thought about building my own computer, but in the past years technology has advanced so much that for a computer that meets my needs it is much cheaper to buy from a large company. Mr. Hechler also thought it was a good idea to buy insurance or guarantees on computers. I disagree with him in this regard because I know that companies make a lot of profit from selling warrantees. They about a seventy percent profit margin on them. But it can't be denied that if your computer does fail, it will save you a lot of money.
