1. New Computer Term.
Boolean - Developed by the English mathematician and
computer pioneer George Boole. A Boolean consists of
operators such as "and", "not" or "or". Generally
Boolean's are commonly used in programming and today in
Internet Search engines. For example in a search engine
someone may search for computer and hope to look
for computer hope.

2. What's new in the news last week?
* MSNBC: Why is America Online raising its access rates
$1.95 a month? Because it can, not because it has to. With
the death of the free-Internet companies on the low end
and the Baby Bells stranglehold on broadband access giving
them free license to raise prices on the high end, the rate
hike will be an easy way for AOL Time Warner to increase
revenue, analysts say, and will encourage other access
providers to increase their fees as well.

6. All Talk
http://www.iomega.com
This week we talk about the Peerless from Iomega. Announced
earlier this weekend the new drive from Iomega is a
removable storage solution which is capable of storing 10 -
20 Gigabytes worth of data accessing that data at 15MB/sec.
The drive supports FireWire, USB and SCSI and could
possibly be as successful as the highly used
Iomega Zip drive.
The above items as well as other new and innovative
services and technologies can be found on our What's Hip
