Storage Devices
One of the major advances in laptop and desktop computers is the variety and the availability of cheap, large, and fast storage devices. It is not usual today to see 40-200 GB storage drives. This in turn allows the generation of large digital images, flash animation, mp3 and mp4 music and videos. It has created much more interesting web sites, created new markets e.g. iPODs, and imaging and video editing software.

• 3 1/2 floppy disk (A:), See that the lab1 directory is located on this drive,
• hard drive (C:), • zip disk-- Removable Disk (D:), • CD-ROM -- Jpfd (E:) • Clicking on any of these storage devices
icons would expose their directories (folders). If we click lab1 which is shown as the only sub directory of the A: drive, we would expose its contents of files and sub directories.
• By Clicking the Folder icon with the up arrow we go up in the directory tree one level.
