My dad just bought some speakers from a friend, nothing came with them except a cord connecting them and a cord to connect it to the computer. The speakers are "Altec Lansing" my Monitor is called "View Sonic", and the computer part is a Dell. The Monitor used to be a Dell but it got shaky and we replaced it. There is a speaker on the computer but its really crappy. Does anyone know where the cord should be plugged into?
It doesn't seem as if there if a place for the jack on the back of the computer, does that mean theres somewhere else to put it?
Answer
On the back of your computer, you should see several small, round inputs. These inputs should be identical in every way to a typical headphone jack like you'd have on an iPod or other portable music player.
One of them should be colored GREEN. (There are usually at least three, one pink, one green, and one blue - however, more upscale computers may have more depending on the quality of the audio card).
The GREEN port is the speaker output.
Plug your speakers in there and you should be good to go!
ADDITIONAL INFO:
Can you send me the exact model of your Dell computer? Like, is it an Optiplex 280? If you let me know the exact model number, I can look up its inputs and I will send you exactly what you need.

When your basic job 'skill' is only a hobby, how to write in on resume?

I went to college for biology but I mess with electronics on my spare time. I replace computer parts (I build computers) and I replace small things such as busted capacitors in LCD monitors, motherboards etc. How would I add this kind of info to my resume?
Answer
It can be done in a number of ways. So there's no one way to handle it. For example, you can have one or more statements about your hobby being electronics and computers. Or not even mention it being a hobby at all. And simply list the kind of things you've been doing.
However, just realize that for certain jobs, no formal schooling will hurt you. As somebody who's studied electronics and computers, and has taught these before too, I can tell you just playing around on your own may not be enough. For some jobs, yes. For others, no.
Remember, it only takes a small amount of current to kill! FYI, even a broken capacitor can still have current in there. So if it's not fully-discharged, you are taking a risk of getting shocked or worse. And discharging it in the wrong way can do the same, even start a fire.
And with motherboards and other computer components, you have to be very careful about static electricity. That can damage or destroy. I've seen this happen many times over the years!
