In computing, plain text is a term used for an ordinary "unformatted" sequential file readable as textual material without much processing. The encoding has traditionally been either ASCII, one of its many derivatives such as ISO/IEC 646 etc., or sometimes EBCDIC. No other encodings are used in plain text files which neither contain any (character-based) structural tags such as heading marks, nor any typographic markers like bold face, italics, etc. The purpose of using plain text today is primarily a "lowest common denominator" independence from programs that require their very own special encoding or formatting (with due sacrifices and limitations). Plain text files can be opened, read, and edited with most text editors. Examples include Notepad (Windows), edit (DOS), ed, vi, vim or Gedit (Unix, Linux), SimpleText (Mac OS), or TextEdit (Mac OS X). Other computer programs are also capable of reading and importing plain text. It can also be used by simple computer tools such as line printing text commands like type (DOS and Windows) and cat (Unix). Plain text files are almost universal in programming; a source code file containing instructions in a programming language is almost always a plain text file. Plain text is also commonly used for configuration files, which are read for saved settings at the startup of a program.

Unless the activities on your computer are restricted to pure textual output (plain text files), your computer is going to get filled with a lot of "stuff" - stuff that can overfill a PC's capacity too much for the computer to function well.

2. Useful Color Laser Printers
November 05, 2009
A laser printer is a very common type of printer used with the PCs of today. It provides high-quality text and graphics on plain paper quite rapidly.

3. Add a Fun Touch to your Cell Phone with Ringtones
November 02, 2009
Most people today own cell phones and many people like to personalise theirs a little. There is no better way to do this than with ringtones of your favourite songs, musical pieces and even crazy sound effects.
