POST, short for Power On Self Test, is the initial set of diagnostic tests performed by the computer right after it's powered on. Computers aren't the only devices that run a POST. Some appliances, medical equipment, and other devices also run very similar self-tests after being powered on.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Port of Montevideo. The Port of Montevideo (Spanish: Puerto de Montevideo), in the northern part of the Old City of Montevideo, Uruguay, is one of the major ports of South America and plays a very important role in the economy of Uruguay.
A Spanish expedition led by Juan Diaz de Solis arrived in what is now Uruguay in 1516, but the people's fierce resistance to conquest, combined with the absence of gold and silver, limited settlement in the region during the 16th and 17th centuries.
