WINDOWS WORD CHALLENGE
Name that boot up method
This term refers to various methods of getting an IBM-compatible computer, typically running Windows, to boot up without the need for a hard drive or boot diskette. The methods evolved from the era before computers had internal disk drives. It usually involves booting a computer from firmware -- data contained on a read-only-memory (ROM) or programmable read-only-memory (PROM) chip -- rather than from data contained on magnetic media.

Baseball legend goes up for sale on the Net
![]()
You may have thought gawking at a frozen Ted Williams was an odd way to see a former baseball great. Now you can stare at a real live home run hitter all afternoon for a mere $2,500 -- if you're under 18, that is. Sidelined slugger Jose Canseco has put himself on the Internet auction block for any youngster who has the appropriate funding. There's an additional $1,000 charge for an accompanying parent. If you can field the bill, you and your child can rent Canseco for an afternoon, but there is a wait. Canseco is currently enjoying the hospitality of the Miami police while awaiting a hearing on a probation violation.
