operating system: what
RIGHT:
system calls! yay! (surrounded by hearts, smiley faces, and exclamation marks)
happy stick figure with curly hair:
open("/cool.txt")
connect(<my friend's computer>)
your programs can:
- open
- read
- write
files
talk to other computers with networking:
- connect
- sendto
- recvfrom
start other programs:

AND MUCH MORE!!!
