Re: OT: gadget Labs

Hola Luis,

    Mucho gusto!  Hey man, the abbreviations are:
OS:  Operating System (the interface betwixt the hardware and the User for 
commands to be sent to the various hardware of the computer, in this case.)
OSR:  Original Service Release (Actually, it is OEM SR but shortened down 
to 
OSR, this is the type of release specifically on Windows 95 and 98 for 
different computer companies out there, such as Compaq, Dell, Sony, etc...)
NICīs:  Network Interface Card (plural with the 's)
RAS:  Remote Access Service (great stuff, and pretty powerful, though not 
as 
happening as a telnet session, but nearly there...)
NT:  New Technology (though there are a few of us who poke a little fun at 
it, and will happily refer to this OS version of Windows as "Nice Try."  
Typically, when you see someone referring to "NT" they're referring to 
version 4.0.)
HDD:  Hard Disk Drive  [your hard drive of your computer, the best types 
to 
snag for music are going to be SCSI (Small Computer Standard Interface) II 
UW 
or IIIUW (Ultra Wide) and be A/V (Audio/Video) this way you'll have a 
cleaner 
media for the OS and the software you're using.]

    Haven't checked out the ISIS card, but I've seen them about in 
different 
Guitar Center stores...  You may want to try checking out 
http://www.wmcworld.com (Chuck Levin's) as they've been very kind to me as 
far as researching different pieces of equipment out there.  

    Ja,

        LeeohkinoWired.
