Did you know...
Memory is a volatile media also known as
RAM (Random Access Memory). Your Notebook uses memory as
a scratch pad for all of its internal processes. When your
Notebook is turned off, the contents of its memory are lost.
To avoid losing information that is temporarily stored in your
Notebook’s memory, always save your work often to non-volatile
media, such as a floppy or your Notebook’s hard drive.
