1. New Computer Term.
AMR - Released September 8, 1998 AMR is short for
Audio/Modem Riser that allows OEM's to create one card that
has the functionality of either Modem or Audio or both
Audio and Modem on one card. This new specification allows
for the motherboard to be manufactured at a lower cost and
free up industry standard expansion slots in the system
for other additional plug-in peripherals.

2. What's new in the news last week?
* CNET: As online file traders stream to Napster
alternatives, many find their computers saddled with
unwanted piggyback software that tracks their online
movements and feeds them unwanted advertising.
In efforts to locate revenues from their free services,
companies that create popular programs, including BearShare,
Audio Galaxy Satellite and iMesh, are adding outside piece
of software that have nothing to do with file trading.
Dubbed "adware," or "spyware" by their critics, these
software programs run in the background even when the
original file-swapping software isn't operating, popping
up advertisements while people surf online, and sometimes
quietly uploading information about a Web surfer's habits.
