Hardware: Anything you can touch — a computer screen, a mouse, a
CD. Your PC is hardware. Kick the computer screen and your toe hurts.
Drop the big box on the floor and it smashes into a gazillion pieces.
That’s hardware.
Software: Everything else — e-mail messages, that letter to your Aunt
Martha, pictures of your last vacation, programs like Microsoft Office. If
you have a roll of film developed and put on a CD, the shiny, round CD is
hardware — you can touch it — but the pictures themselves are software.
Get the difference? Windows XP is software. You can’t touch it.
