A new computer comes with a variety of pre-installed programs, but the specific programs you receive depend on where you purchase your computer and the country you reside in. For example, in the UK, all new computers come with Windows pre-loaded, while in Thailand, some come with Linux, although this may be a recent development.
How useful are these “free” programs that come with your new computer? Well, to be honest, it varies. In the following section, we will take a look at some of the most common pre-loaded programs.
Sometimes you get “Notepad,” sometimes you get “Wordpad,” and sometimes you get both. Wordpad is a more advanced version of Notepad and can open older “Write” documents. It can also open rich text files (.rtf) and plain text (.txt) files.
Many people see Wordpad as an upgrade to Notepad, and in many ways, that’s exactly what it is. However, it lacks enough features to make me want to use it.

Built with few components, artists don’t have to worry about working with a delicate device. Due to their ability to withstand various elements of a live concert, dynamic microphones are the preferred choice for entertainers.
Not only are they durable, but they are also more affordable compared to other types of microphones. When investing in multiple microphones for a band, budget is an important consideration.

These mics can also be waterproof, which is great when weather conditions come into play.
Musicians and singers need reliable equipment to feel secure in different situations and environments. With dynamic mics, a little rain is no cause for concern.

As the guitar is one of the most popular musical instruments used today, understanding guitar theory remains a mystery to many beginners and even more advanced students. While it’s true that many players can learn the notes and chords necessary to play their favorite songs without delving into the theories behind the music, those who aspire to become proficient musicians often realize the importance of learning these fundamental concepts.
There are numerous myths surrounding the theories that encompass this instrument. Some people believe that musical theories are outdated ideas that modern guitarists can disregard. After all, the works of composers from centuries ago bear little resemblance to the music created by contemporary songwriters and performers. The vibrant music played by modern artists may seem completely different from those traditional works. However, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, contemporary music owes a debt to the principles of sound mechanics and musical concepts. Without them, there wouldn’t be enough structure for music to thrive.
