This is not Google. This is a Usenet newsgroup called comp.lang.c, which is
a forum for discussing the C programming language. I suggest you ask your
question on Google, as specified by your teacher. The URL for Google is:

http://www.google.com

Ask on an architecture-related forum; this newsgroup is strictly about
the C programming language, not about "fabricatin g computers", good or
otherwise.

Also, is your homework part of Ph.D. research in electronics
engineering, or are you in fourth grade looking for the most basic
explanation of computer organization?

What's a "good" computer? Consider a finite state machine which is a
subset of the following, complete machine:

But what would be "really good" would be one of these:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_computer

In this universe, one way to fabricate a "great computer" (but still
finite!) is to be IBM and have a budget in the hundreds of millions
dollars, (with clients who have budgets in the tens of billions!) and
build this:

This has nothing to do with this newsgroup (which is not Google,
and Google only provides a very sick implementation of an interface
to Usenet newsgroups). Here we deal with the portable C language.

I suggest you start with good data books and specification sheets
for chips, and a soldering iron. It would help to have some
knowledge of computer architecture and the problems various
architectures attempt to solve.

I think "really good" is an understatement. One example of a Quantum IC,

Do us a favour: slap your teacher. He gives rotten homework questions,
and does a disservice both to his pupils and to the rest of the 'net.

You guys must be humored out. Isn't this a third grade riddle?

How to fabricate a good computer:
1) buy a good computer
2) buy some fabric
2) buy some glue
3) cover good computer with glue
4) apply fabric to glue covered computer

Get it: "fabric-ate"!

That's not a properly cromulent use of the word fabricate.
