GIS 2nd Blog CH 1 Lecture

My software is finally installed on my computer! Thanks to Professor Pete. I am very happy I didn't have to spend 100 dollars and buy a dvd drive. Things are looking up.
Here are some notes on Chapter 1. GIS helps gather and use spatial data. GIS components include hardware, software, data/info, protocols/procedures, and people. ARC Catalog is the file management tool for spatial data. ARC Map is used to edit/analyze and manage data. Points, lines, and polygons are used to display things on a map.
