What is a Menu on a computer screen?

A Menu, simply means 'A list of options'.

With regards to computer applications, a menu is a small list of options that you can choose to perform within the application.

For example, If you use Microsoft word, and you click on the "File" button on the top left of your screen, it will drop down a "Menu" of options for you to choose from.

Also it could be a presentation of a list of choices: It has a way for the user to pick from the choices: they may be numbered, so the user can type in the number, or maybe the user can just click with a mouse, or push the touch screen or another way.

Here's an example: an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) is run by a computer software. It displays a menu after the user swipes the card and enters the PIN. {Well usually the first menu you will see is English or Spanish, which may be even before you put the card in}.

The menu items to choose from may be: Account Balance, Withdraw Money, Fast Cash, Transfer money, deposit money. These can lead to other menus to step the user through the process.

What are synthetic and emulated drivers?

Q: By default is the emulated NIC installed and then you need to upgrade to a synthetic NIC?

>>> After you create a VM in Hyper-V, the default network adapter is a synthetic network adapter, however, you can't use the synthetic network adapter until you install Integration Services in this VM. If you want to perform a network-based installation( PXE boot) of the guest operating system or when integration services are not installed in the guest operating system, please use a legacy network adapter instead of the synthetic network adapter.

Q: How can you tell if you are using an emulated NIC or a synthetic NIC?

>>> You can check this in the VM's settings or you can open device manager inside the VM. The Legacy Network Adapter is an emulated adapter (Intel 21140 PCI)

Why do you need computer to process data and information?

Information is data that a person can understand. When a computer converts data into information, it provides a context, makes it meaningful, focuses attention, and provides an interpretation. Without that, data is pretty much useless. For example the name 'Jon' is pretty useless to you unless you know something abut who that refers to. That's data. It turns out that my name if 'Jon'. Now you have context for the name 'Jon'. 'Jon' is the person who wrote this answer. Now you have information.

What are the best type of computers to use in a network?

It would depend on what you mean by networking. Macs play nicely with everyone. Linux/Unix somewhat and Windows not really at all. This is if you are looking at just simple network structure as in a home or small office.

If you are looking at hosting bigger and over the internet I would look at going with Mac or Linux. I am a Mac guy fully because of all the pros it has over other OS', but I run my server off a Linux box. I feel that unless you are running a whole network of Macs or need Mac specific applications on a server then most of the time your standard Linux box will do. I mostly run Linux because it is free to download and I got a PC from a friend that I did some work for. Linux is cheap and is really as solid as a Mac in most aspects. Also with Linux you can run some Windows apps that are required for Serving some things like MMORPGs. Mostly you can run a server off of anything you have. You would just need to run the server software on your PC (Linux Windows or whatever) or Mac and you should be set with few problems.
