Can a 6.35 mm mic work on a computer with just the adapter 6.35 to 3.5?
Yes, you can use a microphone which has a 1/4" (6.35 mm) plug in a computer with an 1/8" socket. You would just need to use an adapter.
Now, both the plug and the socket will need to have the same number of conductors. While it might be usable to plug a standard phone plug (2 wires) into a TRS socket ("tip, ring, sleeve" -- 3 wires) or vice-versa, you likely will be missing sound from one side. In that case, there are additional adapters to convert between those types of plugs and sockets.

Besides its nice display and screen. How good is Mac book pro compared to PCs?
Personally, I like PCs much more than any mac because of the fast that they have so many things you can do more with them, like gaming and other demanding programs that any computer made by apple can not run. Also, for the price you would be paying for a MacBook Pro, you could buy a PC with a much faster processor, more RAM, a bigger hard drive, and the list goes on. The only thing that Mac beats PC in is their operating system is very smooth and there are few viruses you can get on a Mac. It really does come down to the preference though, because I personally love Windows 8, and I'm not a huge fan of any of apples operating systems or products at all. So my advice to anyone who reads this is most definitely get a PC.

Programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM) is used for making firmware for various devices. They differ from the older ROM chips in that they can be erased using UV light and reprogrammed. That is why they have a heavy foil label on the back. The label covers the erasure window to protect it from accidental erasure.
Some of the examples of the applications for PROM chips include:
Automotive computer - The PROM or EPROM stores the defaults for running the car.
Computer ROM BIOS - This is the instructions needed for a computer to even work.
Industrial machinery - The PROMs would contain custom code for running the machinery.
Modem firmware - The PROM chips may contain proprietary communications protocols and compression code.
