HARDWARE

Good morning. Today's word is: Hardware Meanings: (1) computer equipment (CPU, monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc.) which is NOT software. (2) the equipment, machines and vehicles used in a particular area of activity, such as the military. Example 1: Since the software companies are continuously updating computer software, I feel obliged to update my hardware every two years or so; it is getting quite expensive. Example 2: The Pentagon assumed that having superior military hardware was going to guarantee a quick victory in Iraq. Keeping in mind what the possible meanings of hardware are, do you know what a hardware store is? A hardware store is a shop that sells metal goods and things for your home and garden, such as pans, knives, tools and chemical products. Example 3 One of the most well-known hardware stores in Spain is Leroy Merlin. Example 4 I'm going to the hardware store to buy some paint. Do you need anything?
