Dear Dorothy
Re chips
Chips, when referred to in the context of computing, are like very small
electrical circuits which can do many things, such as make decisions or
store data. The CPU of a computer is made up of many microchips and thus
the overall effect is a very powerful processor.
I've never heard of a blue chip in this context. The only context I've
heard of it is in relation to the stock market where a blue chip is A stock
that sells at a high price because of public confidence in its long record
of steady earnings. You may be getting confused with blue tooth which is a
way of transmitting wirelessly at short distances to say, a keyboard or an
external device.
Nano chips are simply very, very small microchips. They can pack more
information and circuitry into a smaller space and are much, much faster
than their bigger and older cousins, the microchip.
All of these chips are hardware or, put another way, the nuts and bolts of
the computer. Jaws is software and doesn't have any chips per sae but the
chips on your computer will process the commands sent by you to Jaws and
vice versa. The smaller and faster the chips, then the faster and more
reliable Jaws will be. It's down to the model of your computer at the end
of the day.
Hope that some or all of this makes sense.
Kind regards ... Scott

Chips. If Jaws needs one it must be related. I am confused about them
though.. 1. the Microchip I assume it in the computer itself. Is that the
CPU? 2. I have heard of a blue chip is that what a laptop has? 3. I have
heard of Nano Chips I think Nano means small but is it a chip that would
help Jaws?Or could it be used in many
may ways . I mean like the eye the brain. I hear the word a lot and wonder
if it is our future in many ways including I.T. Grateful for a few
words of enlightenment. Dorothy.
