1. New Computer Term.
Digital Subscriber Line - DSL is a method for home users and
small businesses to have high speed access to the Internet
over standard copper lines. Capable of receiving up to 6.1
megabits per second DSL is a great solution providing it is
available in your area. Because of the technology used you

6. All Talk
This week in the 'All Talk' section we will talk about the
Xircom Rex 6000 and a very innovative creative lighting
solution for your laptop the FlyLight from Kensington.
http://www.rex.net/portal/index
The Xircom Rex 6000 part of the Xircom Rex family is a very
small and easy to use MicroPDA. What makes this device
different from other PDA's is its size and connectivity.
About the size of a credit card or exactly the size of a
PC-CARD the Rex 6000 is a great solution for individuals who
need access to quick notes such as contacts, memos, etc..
However we love the fact that this device can actually
synchronize with a laptop through the PC-CARD connection on
a laptop (also can use a cradle). For any individual on the
go with a computer laptop this is a great solution as no
additional devices or cables will be required.

Kinsington's FlyLight Notebook USB light is a fantastic
solution for users who may need a light for a portable
computer. What makes this device innovative and unique to
any device we have seen however is that it runs off of the
USB port therefore requires no batteries, has a bulb-free
LED designed to never wear out, uses less than 90 seconds
per hour of battery charge and has a estimated price of
for only $19.99 USD.
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:
