when we hear that word but why? The computer is
one of the best inventions that anyone has ever
come up with, why our whole world is practically
run by them. A computer is something that no one

Wrote This Book Billy The Kid
751 words
He was an American legend known as Henry McCarty,
alias William H. Bonney, and alias Billy the Kid.

McCarty was a man of varied images. He was a
killer, a gambler, singer, piano player, and a
user of both men and women. He was a personable,

Thales Of Miletus A Brief History
851 words
The first thing I would like to say before I start
this paper on Thales is that when dealing with

uncover are really just educated guesses. The
reason for this is, because all records back then
were kept on cuneiform tablets. These tablets just
did not hold up well over time, and were destroyed
before anyone could really make a lasting,
permanent record of his life and studies. (2) With
this being said, let me share with you some of my
findings o...
