Computer Systems Architecture
1.) From a Windows comand line prompt execute a DIR command. Note and record how much space remains on your disk drive. Open NOTEPAD and create a new file that contains only a period and a carriage return. Save the file as "sample.txt". Use a DIR sample.txt to determine how much space your new file takes up. How much space now remains on the disk? Explain what happened and present your data in the explanation.
2.) Describe what happens when a user types a keystroke on a terminal connected to a multitasking system. Does the system respond differently for a preemptive or a nonpreemptive system? Why or why not?
