Question:
What are bullets and when do you use them?

Answer:
In the computer world, "bullets" are much safer than bullets flying around in the real world. Bullets are used when making a list, often called a "bulleted list." An example of a bulleted list would be:

• First Point
  
• Second Point
  
• Third Point
  
• Fourth Point
  

Bulleted lists are often used in making outlines or other lists such as a recipe or a list of product features. Most word processing programs, like Microsoft Word and AppleWorks, have the option of creating a bulleted list.
