 Laura (or Robert)

Flash BIOS is a BIOS chip that can be re-written using a utility
program, without removing it from it's socket on the MB No PROM burner
needed to alter the contents.

IE 4 is Microsoft Internet Explorer Revison 4. (This revision alters
some of Win95 basic DLL files to enable some enhancements required by
IE4.

Eprom is an earasable PROM which uses an ultraviolet light thru a window
on the chip to erase the PROM's previously stored data..

EEPROM is and electrically erased PROM using a signal pin on the PROM
chip to erase the prviously stored data.
