In this project we will see a part of the history of what are Macintosh, andsome computers that were released in the years of 1984, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2008.
We will also see what is RAM, functions in Macintosh computers.
The goals are to learn more about thesecomputers, which are the Macintosh and its functions. We also have to see how the RAM and makes changes in the computer.

In contrast, other data storage mediasuch as hard disks, CDs, DVDs and magnetic tape, as well as early primary memory types such as drum memory, read and write data only in a predetermined order, consecutively, because of mechanicaldesign limitations. Therefore the time to access a given data location varies significantly depending on its physical location.
