1. New Computer Term.
EOT - Short for End of Transmission. EOT is commonly used in
Unix and programming environments. EOT may also be illustrated
as <EOT>. The EOT is achieved by inserting an ASCII sequence
of 4. To enter this value hold down your ALT key on the keyboard
and press the number 4 on your numeric pad. Once this has been
pressed let go of both buttons.

6. All Talk
We would first like to thank everyone that sent us great
comments and feedback on how they enjoy our newsletter and
what they would like to see this will only help in making
the newsletter a better service.
This week in the 'All Talk' section we will talk about a new
and exciting device called the AlphaGrip and a unique web
site from McAfee, the World Virus Map.
http://www.alphagrip.com
The Alphagrip device is a unique and very different device we
came across that is a keyboard, mouse, game pad, TV remove,
palm-top, smartphone and a Net appliance. This is a really
interesting concept and should be interesting to see how well
this device or technology does in the market.
http://mast.mcafee.com
McAfee's new service called the World Virus Map is a great
service and one that cannot be found anywhere else. The
concept is to have the ability to see the full level of
infected computers across the globe.
The above two items as well as other new and innovative
services can be found on our What's Hip section on our
News page at:
