Announcing:
Endorses IMATION SuperDisk Media as "The Physical Transfer Medium
Standard for Now and the Future"!
ACSA announced that
after considerable evaluation of Portable Physical Transfer Media and Drives,
including the removable Hard Disk Drive, the Zip, the Imation SuperDisk
(LS-120), the Recordable CDROM, a Variety of Tape Drives, and other media,
that the IMATION SuperDisk (LS-120) turned out not only to be the most
practical, because of its unique 3.5" Floppy Drive Footprint and Media,
it provided backwards compatibility with older 3.5" Floppy Drives.
Accordingly, ACSA announced that it had decided to adopt the SuperDisk as a
medium for transmittal of papers, proposals, bids and responses, and other
physical transfers of electronic commerce and knowledge. The 120 MB
Capacity and easy ENCRYPTION of sensitive documents by the Imation SuperDisk
Software environment, along with its ready compatibility with Microsoft's
Popular Windows 95 and NT operating systems, were the final reasons: the
defacto standardization of desktop, deskside and server computing around
Windows operating systems, DEMANDED a physical document and image transmission
standard, and ACSA has decided that the only one worthy of consideration after
elimination of all alternatives for reason of various weaknesses, was the
SuperDisk.
Announcing:
The SPACE and TECHNOLOGY MERGER !!!
ACSA is working with outside teams
of Space Science and Business personnel on a program that every grade school,
high school and college can adapt to the program of teaching children how to
learn, how to create working SPACE environments, and all about Aerospace,
Space Stations, NASA, the Space Program and how computer technology fits
in. Stay Tuned for MORE!

ACSA will investigate a plan for low cost financing of new small businesses!
To assist young, recent
graduates and other members of the public in ther efforts to gain entry into
Computer Science professions and science or technology businesses in other
industries, ACSA recently adopted a memorandum to investigate the possible
formation of an outside fund that could make it feasible for qualified
individuals to obtain startup funding for small businesses. The program, aimed
at recent graduates and experienced experts alike, is intended for those with
qualified ideas for a successful product or service business who possess the
acumen and drive to achieve success in a reasonable period of time. The
possibility for such a funding program is presently being studied and outside
providers are being considered.
One major difference between this program and
conventional sources, is the possibility that ACSA might provide the startup
with additional technological, scientific and business resources that could
more greatly ensure that the business would not flounder and would achieve its
established objectives. 908-272-3330.
Announcing:
Corporate Incubator Co-operative.

the communication oriented spirit of the ACSA, is intended to foster
technology transport and information correspondence between the National
Laboratories and the ACSA laboratory, in keeping with the incentives of the US
Small Business Administration and the incentives of the National Science
Foundation. ACSA is an NSF sponsor, and will accept matching
"turnaround" grant applications from any party seeking funding from
the NSF or the National Labs: ACSA then seeks matching "turnaround"
funds from its "Grant Outsourcing" programs intended to increase the
available funds to approved National and NSF programs (and those which are not
approved, but which may be of interest to our Source List, anyway!). For more
information, contact the Granting Office at ACSA!
