2. Hardware is the physical part of a computer system; the machinery and equipment (оборудование).

Freeware is different from free software, which has no restrictions on use, modification, or redistribution. 4. Shareware is software that is copyrighted, but may be downloaded and used for a limited time for free, after which the user is asked to send the author a small payment ((о)плата). Some shareware products offer additional features, documentation,

technical support, and/or updates to registered users. 5. Firmware is software stored in ROM or PROM; important programs that remain (оставаться/сохраняться) even when the system is turned off. Firmware is easier to change than hardware but more permanent than software stored on disk.
