1. New Computer Term.
FTP - FTP or File Transfer Protocol was first purposed in
1971 for and developed for implementation on hosts at M.I.T.
and was later defined by RFC 959 published in 1985. FTP is
a standard way to transfer files between computers. The
method has built-in error checking. FTP often refers to a
standard way of transferring many types of files over the
Internet.
Additional information and help with FTP in Unix and
Windows can be found on our FTP page:

2. What's new in the news last week?
* 4/14/2001 - ZDNET: AMD disclosed that the first of
several forthcoming processors, code-named Clawhammer, will
be only 105 millimeters square--about the same size as a
current Athlon chip and half the size of Intel's current
Pentium 4 chips. But it will deliver more than three times
the clock speed of the first Athlon, and its small size
will help AMD hold down capital expenditures.
