1. New Computer Term.
C-RIMM - Short for Continuity-RIMM. A C-RIMM is a
inexpensive pass through module which allows for a continuous
signal for computers with RIMM memory. This module must be
installed if the computer has an empty RIMM memory bank.

6. All Talk
http://www.virtouch.co.il/
This week in the 'All Talk' section we will talk about the
VirTouch System which should hopefully be a revolutionary
device to help the blind and visually impaired. VTS claims
to be the first and only system giving the blind and
visually impaired remote tactile access for mastery of
multiple Windows applications: graphics, text, education
programs, art, photography and tactile graphics, as well
as the first open gate to the Internet. This sounds like
a great device and we hope it will allow more individuals to
utilize the Internet and the computer, things many of us
take for granted.
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:
