1. Weekly Computer Term.
PROM ( http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/p/progrrom.htm ) -
Short for Programmable Read Only Memory, Programmable ROM
or PROM is a memory chip that allows data to be written
to it once, using a programmable ROM programmer. The
information written to the PROM is never lost and
can never
be erased.

6. All Talk
http://www.sonystyle.com/sonystyle/4621/4685/4692/9456.default.html
This week we would like to talk about the Sony CRX200E/A1.
The drive takes the original CD format and doubles it. With
this drive and DD-R or DD-RW discs a user can record up to
1.3GB worth of data on one disc. This could potentially be
the replacement for the standard CD-R or CD-RW drives we
know today because of the affordable price and backwards
compatibility.
The above items as well as other new and innovative
services and technologies
can be found on our What's Hip
section on our News page at:
